Rossikk: Stop this unnecessary nostalgia. Nations are moving beyond dependence on exporting raw commodities and cash crops. The emphasis now is on value-addition. You add value to your raw materials by innovation and manufacturing, and yield far higher returns when you sell the products at home and abroad, helping to boost local incomes, economic activity, and employment.

And stop being unnecesarily antagonistic. You say value addition; agreed. But you can only add value when the raw material is available. So, where r the raw materials (in this case, groundnuts) to which value could be added? There's no gainsaying that our agricultural sector has witnessed a huge decline in output over the years since the discovery of that black divisive matter that seems to have become a curse upon this nation!

Instead of loading up raw peanuts in pyramids for export, create industries close to this source that manufacture stuff from peanuts:

''Paint, varnish, lubricating oil, leather dressings, furniture polish, insecticides, and nitroglycerin are made from peanut oil. Soap is made from saponified oil, and many cosmetics contain peanut oil and its derivatives.''

This page presents the rank of the country amongst all other countries, for each agricultural commodity, for any given year. As such it can be used not just to see where a countries standing is today but can show changes over time.

When applicable International commodity prices are used, to calculate the total value of each commodity produced by each country and subsequently used in the ranking of commodities and countries. They are applied in order to avoid the use of exchange rates for obtaining continental and world aggregates, and also to improve and facilitate international comparative analysis of productivity at the national level.
