    (Busitema University, 2024) Wanjala, William
    This is a report of a study which was carried out during mid-June to early July 2024 to assess factors influencing ground nut production by small holder farmers in Buwunga sub county, Bugiri District.The specific objectives were “To derive solutions to the limitations faced by most smallholder farmers engaging in groundnut production,to assess how groundnut production has contributed on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and to find out the different ways in which the smallholder farmers have been using the local farming techniques in groundnut production.”Data were collected using research questionnaires from 50 respondents .The findings showed that many farmers are relatively new to groundnut farming, which could impact their productivity and efficiency.Male farmers preferred Igola-1 variety while women farmers preferred to grow the Virginia variety. Therefore, it was recommended that extension services for groundnut farmers should be targeted to the different needs of man and women farmers
