peanut agriculture
Peanut agriculture involves the cultivation of peanuts, a legume crop known for its edible seeds. Peanuts thrive in warm climates and are typically grown in sandy, well-drained soils. Farmers plant peanut seeds in rows, and the plants require adequate sunlight and moisture to grow.
After about 4 to 5 months, the peanuts mature underground. Harvesting involves digging up the plants and separating the peanuts from the roots. Peanuts are then dried and processed for various uses, including snacks, cooking oil, and peanut butter. This crop is significant for both local economies and global markets.
