Problems faced by groundnut farmers:-

•    Limited capital among the farmers.
•    Continuous soil erosion  leading to poor yields.
•    Over production which leads to the floating of the crop on the World market.
•    Price fluctuations which causes much losses to farmer thus leaving them frustrated.
•    Limited local market due to competition of producing as all people in  Gambia and other neighboring countries produce the same crop.
•    Congestion at port Banjul as the only port.
•    Easy spread of diseases due to Monoculture.
