Peanut Market FAQs
What drives peanut prices?
Peanut prices are set by planting decisions and harvest size across Argentina, the US, China and Brazil, export demand for shelled kernels, and competing demand from peanut oil crushing. A shift in any one origin’s crop can move the weighted global price.
What is a weighted composite peanut price?
Expana’s main peanut benchmark blends pricing from Argentina, the US, China and Brazil into a single weighted figure, reflecting their relative share of global trade rather than any one origin alone.
What does 40/50 count mean for peanuts?
The count refers to the number of kernels per ounce for shelled runner peanuts. A 40/50 count is a mid-size grade widely used in food manufacturing and snacking.
How are peanut and peanut oil prices related?
Peanut oil is crushed from the same raw peanuts used for shelled kernels, so strong oil demand can pull supply away from the kernel market and push both prices higher together.
What peanut benchmarks does Expana cover?
Expana covers a weighted composite across Argentina, the US, China and Brazil, individual origin pricing for each, plus India, Mexico and Italian peanut oil benchmarks.
