We are the only processor present in each of the world’s major peanut producing and exporting origins, supported by a global network of marketing offices in Rotterdam, Atlanta, Geneva, Singapore, Qingdao, Moscow, Odessa and Duba

Sourcing

We have developed strong origination capabilities in China, India and the USA which together account for the majority of global trade.

In India, USA and China we have built strong relationships over the years with farmer suppliers to ensure we have unfettered access to the right quality raw material under all market conditions.

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality. This includes educating farmers on the risks associated with Aflatoxin, and testing in accordance with the stated regulatory levels for safe human consumption.

We also focus on improving farmer livelihoods at a grass roots level through productivity improvement initiatives that include organising farmer business groups, providing them with critical inputs and building up capacities among both farming and trading communities.

Processing

Our peanut shelling plants and 3 blanching facilities are located in the USA. We have a unique configuration of facilities and capabilities engaged in all aspects of processing from shelling to blanching to manufacturing peanut paste and ingredients. 

We manufacture peanut ingredients such as dry roasted peanuts, peanut paste and granulated peanuts in 2 facilities strategically located in the key growing regions of America. Our facilities are HACCP, ISO or BRC accredited, with our quality assurance teams interacting closely with customers. We perform pre-shipment micro-testing on all peanut ingredients to ensure quality and food safety.

Our team’s 40+ years of experience in maximising quality and yield combined with proprietary foreign matter removal technologies supports our aim to be the industry benchmark in product quality and customer service. We also seek to minimise our impact on the environment such as using peanut shells as biomass in renewable energy.
