A Pre Evaluation of Feasibility Factors for
Technical Change to Reduce Aflatoxin
Contamination in Groundnut Based Livelihood
Systems
REVIEW OF THE PROCESS

• SO FAR -
• Farmers practices and underlying reasons
  understood
• Groundnut marketing systems and policy
  environment understood
• Brainstorming by project team to put together
  potentially suitable technologies to
  produce aflatoxin free groundnuts and fodder
  feasibility assessed vis-à-vis potential
  constraints
• AT PRESENT
• A pre-evaluation aflatoxin reducing
  technologies carried out with the farmers of
  Ananthapur to assess feasibility and to
  understand potential constraints for adoption

IN CONCLUSION -

• Sensitivity to Different Strokes
• Apprehensions Work load / Drudgery /
  Windrowing / Out turn effects
• Economic Considerations Costs / Availability /
  Access / _ _ _
• Market - ability Acceptance / Access /
  Pricing / _ _ _
• Perceptions based on current experience Bowine
  tastes, no effects on health,
• Awareness Sorting, storage,
• Group Approach to widen stakeholder base /
  reach the poor farmer
• Coalitions Partnerships for Aflatoxin Free
  Groundnuts
