National action plans for Bambara Groundnut and Amaranth in Benin, Kenya and Zimbabwe

Value Chain Development Capacity, Awareness & Policy Bambara Groundnut Amaranth Africa ACP-EU Value Chains

Although Bambara groundnut and amaranth are priority NUS, their value chains are often poorly developed. But there are signs that this is changing and grain amaranth products are now sold in selected supermarkets globally. Benin, Kenya and Zimbabwe are keen to participate in such value chains.

The value chains for Bambara groundnut and amaranth were mapped and opportunities for upgrading identified in three workshops held in Zimbabwe, Kenya and Benin through the ACP-EU NUS Project. The national action plans for value chain upgrading that emerged from the process are now available.
