Types & Counts

Bold, Java and in-shell peanuts: counts and uses

Peanut is bought on count per ounce, not on size in millimetres. Tell us the count and the end use and we grade to it.

Bold (Runner)

Bold — counts 38/42 to 50/60

Larger, rounder kernel. The confectionery and roasting grade, and the type European and Gulf buyers usually name first.

Java (Spanish)

Java — counts 50/60 to 70/80

Smaller and more uniform. Moves into snack and food-manufacturing lines, strong demand across Southeast Asia.

In shell

Groundnut in Shell

Unshelled lots under HS 1202 41, for buyers who roast or shell at destination. Counts and screen size to order.

Aflatoxin testing against your destination requirements

Not price — aflatoxin. Every lot ships with a batch certificate of analysis from an accredited laboratory covering aflatoxin, moisture, admixture, count and damage. We contract to your national limit, not to a generic one. For the European Union that means 2.0 µg/kg aflatoxin B1 and 4.0 µg/kg total for groundnut sold for direct consumption, and 8.0 and 15.0 µg/kg for lots that will be sorted or treated before use, under Regulation (EU) 2023/915. Tell us the destination and we quote to that number.

Marking & documentation

Bags marked to your requirement — type, count, crop year, net weight, origin. The certificate of analysis is lot-specific and travels with the shipment, so your quality team and customs are reading the same batch, not a generic company datasheet.
