Future

Future Of Groundnut Based On China’s Imports as China continues to be one of the major peanut oil players in the market globally, where it purchased over 1 million mt of kernels last year for crushing only. The last time China crossed this number was in 2017, but Beijing’s peanut oil market price also crashed that year.

So, while the stock levels are high in the oil and peanut kernel market, the overall small package sale is not faring well. With high purchases during the last season and expected carryover stock, when the country will start purchasing groundnut is unknown.

The overall Chinese peanut market still remaining bearish may act as a depressing factor for the Chinese buyers, and they will not accept higher prices for the product. Also, logistic challenges still continue to be a factor. Therefore, the peanut market in Senegal and India will have to be based on other importers and local demand.
