Types & Counts

Bold, Java, or in shell — priced by count.

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.

Why Our Address Matters

We are based inside the belt that grows the crop.

Most peanut offers you receive from India are written by a trader one or two states away from the field. Ours is not.

55%

Of India’s Groundnut Is Gujarati

Gujarat produced over 66 lakh tonnes in 2025 — more than half the national crop, and close to three times the next state. We are domiciled in it.

1 leg

Field To Port, One State

Buying in-state means no interstate movement before the container, no second trader’s margin stacked on the mandi price, and a shorter chain to audit when a lot is questioned.

Oct–Nov

Counter-Season To Onion

The kharif groundnut harvest lands as the onion year turns. Two crops, two seasons, one procurement network — which is why we can hold a quote when a single-crop shipper cannot.

Packing Options

Packed dry, marked clearly, sealed on a clean lot.

New jute or PP woven bags in the weight your buyer receives in, and vacuum packing where the kernel has to hold condition on a long leg.

Aflatoxin is where peanut contracts fail

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.

Buying inside the producing state means one procurement leg instead of two, no interstate movement before the port, and mandi-level pricing rather than a second trader’s margin.

What aflatoxin limit do you ship to?

We contract to the buyer’s national limit.

Every lot ships with a batch certificate of analysis from an accredited laboratory.

How is export peanut packed and how much fits a container?

New jute or PP woven bags of 10, 15, 25 or 50 kg, or vacuum packed at 25 kg for kernels. A 20ft FCL loads approximately 19 metric tonnes, around 380 bags at 50 kg.
