Peanuts

Commodity Overview

The peanut belongs to the botanical family Fabaceae, commonly known as the legume, bean or pea family. Peanuts harbor symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules. The capacity to fix nitrogen means peanuts require less nitrogen-containing fertilizer and improve soil fertility, making them valuable in crop rotations.
