Product Information
Groundnuts, or peanuts, sit at the intersection of snack foods, confectionery, edible oil and animal feed. Exporters in this category supply edible-grade and crushing-grade peanuts to roasters, snack manufacturers, confectionery producers, crushers and traders. Buyers are highly focused on aflatoxin management, grading consistency and application-specific criteria such as kernel size and blanching behaviour.
For edible peanuts, key specifications include size (count per ounce), moisture, foreign matter, damage and, critically, aflatoxin levels within destination-country limits. Exporters may offer in-shell, shelled, blanched, roasted or value-added flavoured peanuts depending on buyer needs. Crushing-grade peanuts are assessed more on oil yield, moisture and cleanliness, with strict controls still applied to contaminants. Many suppliers operate under food-safety systems like HACCP and ISO 22000 and can provide third-party lab reports to support compliance with retailer and regulatory standards.
Logistics for groundnuts are predominantly container-based, using bags, bulk bags or specialised packaging designed to reduce moisture ingress and damage. Exporters manage sorting, grading, fumigation and documentation, including health certificates, phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin and detailed aflatoxin test reports. For integrated strategies, buyers may collaborate with the same exporters on both peanuts as a food ingredient and groundnut oil sourcing from related categories.
