The Groundnut Improvement Program established at the ICRISAT Sahelian Center, Niamey, Niger, seeks to develop high-yielding breeding lines adapted to various agroecological requirements of West Afria, by incorporating resistances to major biotic and physical stress factors and to develop agronomic practices suitable for resource-poor farmers in the region, in collaboration with national and international research programs. The strategies employed to achieve these goals are presented. The performance of groundnut lines from SADCC/ICRISAT Regional Groundnut Program (Malawi) in 1987 in Niger is reported and potential areas for collaboration between the two regions are discussed.
