Groundnut from India — Peanut Export Suppliers for Global Buyers

Source Indian groundnut (peanut) with supplier discovery, count and quality specs, and optional verification through SupplyNetwork — not one anonymous exporter on every invoice.

International trade uses groundnut; US buyers often say peanut — same product on the COA. Contracts are with the supplier on your proforma.

India in global groundnut trade

India is among the world's leading groundnut exporters. According to APEDA / DGCIS data for FY2025-26, India exported about 663,810 MT of groundnut valued at approximately US$691 million. Major destinations include Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, China and the Philippines — Southeast Asia drives most volume.

Why source groundnut from India?

  • Two crop cycles (kharif / rabi) support year-round export availability from many processors.
  • Gujarat anchors much of India's groundnut export trade; other origins include Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
  • Product forms: HPS kernels (Bold, Java, TJ/Spanish), blanched whole and splits, oil-grade, in-shell where offered.
  • Buyers specify count per ounce, moisture, admixture and aflatoxin limits on the COA.
  • FCL export is standard; trial shipments negotiable per exporter.
  • SupplyNetwork adds supplier verification and sourcing assistance — discover → verify scope → connect.

FAQ

Is groundnut the same as peanut in international trade?

Yes. Export documents and APEDA statistics use groundnut; US and many retail buyers say peanut. HS codes and COAs typically say groundnut or peanuts — specify count, moisture and aflatoxin limits in your RFQ.

What is the minimum order quantity for groundnut export from India?

Bulk export is often one FCL (container load; tonnage varies by kernel size and packing). Trial lots or LCL may be available for qualification — MOQ is confirmed in writing per supplier.

Which Indian states export groundnut?

Gujarat is the principal export belt, with significant production in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Rajasthan. The supplier named on your quote reflects their processing location.

What aflatoxin limits do buyers usually specify?

EU and many food buyers set strict total aflatoxin and aflatoxin B1 limits on the COA. Crushing and some regional markets may differ — state your limit in the RFQ; the exporter confirms what they can meet on the batch.

Which ports ship Indian groundnut?

Mundra, Kandla (Deendayal) and Nhava Sheva (JNPT) are common FOB gateways. Port choice follows supplier location and forwarder routing to Southeast Asia, China or other destinations.

Does SupplyNetwork export groundnut directly?

No. SupplyNetwork.in is a listing and verification platform. You contract with the Indian supplier on your proforma invoice. We help you discover exporters, clarify specs, and verify before payment.
