Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Peanut production in Senegal will probably increase 66 percent to 550,000 metric tons in the 2008-09 season after plantings increased, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Output fell 28 percent to 331,200 tons in the 2007-08 season, from the previous year, because of poor rainfall, the department’s Foreign Agricultural Service said on its Web site.
Peanuts are the primary cash crop and source of income for most Senegalese farmers, according to the FAS.
