Not roasted and not cooked groundnuts market in Brazil

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2021, production of not roasted and not cooked groundnuts in Brazil increased from 563.3 тыс. т to 794.7 тыс. т, while market volume grew from 358.1 тыс. т to 542.2 тыс. т. This expansion was driven by state incentive policies in regions like Mato Grosso do Sul, which attracted new producers to diversify beyond São Paulo. Investments in genetic seed improvement by Embrapa facilitated mechanization and higher yields. Additionally, rising international demand from the European Union and China encouraged exports, supported by efforts to meet phytosanitary standards.

Growth continued through 2022 and 2023, with production reaching 875.2 тыс. т and market volume 578.5 тыс. т. Improved aflatoxin control led the European Union to drop certification requirements, easing market access. Brazil successfully opened new export destinations, including China and Japan, while domestic consumption rose due to the fitness trend and demand for peanut-based snacks. The state of São Paulo remained the leading producer and exporter.

In the later years of the period, production continued to diversify into new states such as Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais, with adoption of improved seeds and technologies boosting productivity. Brazil's global competitiveness strengthened through quality improvements and international certifications, though logistics and storage infrastructure required development to support the growing output.
