Peanut is one of the important agricultural food crops of the world. It is an important source of edible oil and source of vegetable protein. It is also significant source of cash in developing countries that contribute significantly to food security and alleviate poverty. Peanuts have a strong nutritional profile. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and many key vitamins and minerals. Peanuts come in many forms, including roasted, salted, chocolate-coated, and as peanut butter. Different types have different nutritional profiles and various health benefits. This study was initiated to Market Analysis of Peanut in Bambasi District; Benishangul Gumuz Region, Western Ethiopia. The focus of the study was to analyze the peanut market channel in the study area. Different variables were hypothesized to determine quantity of peanut supply to the market. The data was supplemented by primary and secondary sources. The multiple linear regression models were applied to estimate the effects of explanatory variables on quantity of peanut supplied to the market. The results obtained from this analysis indicate extension services, volume of peanut produced, distance to the market, and average price of peanut were found to be the most important significant variables influencing peanut marketing in the district. Therefore, providing extension services, improving volume of peanut produced, improving transportation facilities to strengthen the vertical and horizontal linkages among the marketing agents are recommended to develop and strengthen information on peanut product marketing in the study area.
