Though some research based studies have been undertaken in the past on the problems of groundnut production and marketing and they are mostly at a macro-level. Apart from this, inadequate studies have been undertaken so far, to enquire into the various problems experienced by the groundnut growers of dry land areas in groundnut production and marketing like in Anantapur district. This study seeks to explore the problems of marketing of groundnut as well as its production in Anantapur district of Rayalaseema region. A fund of information has been collected from a number of primary sources to acquire a first hand and practical insight into the various problems experienced by the groundnut producers in the production and marketing of groundnut in Anantapur district of Rayalaseema region in Andhra Pradesh. This study will definitely be of immense help to all those people engaged in the marketing of groundnut not only in Anantapur district but also elsewhere in the state. Apart from this, the various suggestions and findings brought out and to be incorporated in the study will definitely provide specific guidelines in future activities to a number of persons connected either directly or indirectly with groundnut production and its marketing.
