This document summarizes the objectives, components, outcomes, and challenges of the Tropical Legumes - II Project which aims to enhance groundnut productivity and production in drought-prone areas of sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. The key components are fast-tracking varieties for release, developing new varieties resistant to diseases, improving partner skills, and building seed production capacity. Outcomes include varieties recommended for release in Tanzania, Mozambique, and Malawi. Challenges include the slow variety release process and lack of durable resistance, which the project is working to address through capacity building and marker-assisted breeding.
