Abstract : This study aims to analyze the constraints on agricultural production within the Groundnut Basin of Senegal. A total of 503 farmers were interviewed across the regions of Kaffrine (17.7%) and Kaolack (82.3%) using structured field surveys. The research employed a multi-faceted analytical approach, including descriptive and comprehensive analyses, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Correspondence Analysis (CA). The findings reveal that an overwhelming majority of producers (84%) lack access to agricultural financing.

Keywords : Access to Credit, Cultivated Area, Production Constraints, Agricultural Production, Senegal.
