	<span style="line-height:1.5;">In this paper, we assess the potentials of the
groundnut producing sector in Senegal. The paper also identifies possible
strategies to implement in order to fully benefit from this sector and its role
in achieving food security. A comprehensive scientific literature review was
carried out to ascertain the unexploited potentials of this sector. Using this
approach, we found out that several unexploited potentials existed along the
value chain of the groundnut sector. These potentials range from inputs through
procurement and to the marketing of finished products. We also observed that
complete exploitatio</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">n of these potentials would sustainably and enormously
contribute to the growth of the groundnut sector, improve rural livelihoods and
achieve food security.</span>
