Abstract
This manual is conceived to support awareness raising campaigns of the groundnut value chain actors in and out of the States targeted
for the implementation of the USAID funded Groundnut Technology Upscaling Project in Nigeria. It is a fallout
of two capacity
development events of the project Media
Training and Training of Trainers Workshops organized by ICRISAT in Kano during the first
six months of project implementation in Nigeria. In view of the focus of the groundnut technology upscaling project on ensuring that
farmers produce and market groundnuts free of Aflatoxins, the manual provides the general and specific information on Aflatoxin
contamination and its management at all stages of the groundnut value chain. Though considered to be a basic companion document
for frontline
officers of partner institutions of the groundnut technology project, it can also be used by other actors of the groundnut
value chain. The Manual is laid out in two parts; while Part 1 provides general and specific information required for the understanding
of Aflatoxin, Part 2 focuses on the management of Aflatoxins at all stages of the groundnut value chain.
