PRODUCTION

Market Year 2021/2022 Peanut Production Revised at 7 MT: Industry sources estimate peanut acreage for MY 2021/2022 (October-September) at around 5 million hectares, albeit with expectations of higher yields. The area planted in Gujarat state is down by eight percent compared to last year, however, Gujarat remains India’s top production state, accounting for 39 percent of the overall area planted under peanuts. The states of Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh are the next largest peanut production states.

Reports of a rain deficit during the initial months of planting in Gujarat state were subsequently allayed with good rainfall observed during the second half of August through most of September 2021. Limited damage to crops, and good rainfall, is expected to help boost production by 4 percent to 7 MMT in MY 2021/2022.
