In this issue of World Peanut Magazine, we take an additional look at Brazil and its new trade agreement with China, which includes peanuts. Of course, we celebrate the International Peanut Forum, held in Budapest at the end of April, the first after the Covid emergency. While in the UK, two entities joined forces to create the Nut and Dried Fruit Trade Association. As far as farming is concerned, an interesting article shows how fostering biodiversity may have significant beneficial effects on yield. The focus on sustainability continues in an interview with the Americas manager for the SAI Platform, discussing the implementation of an important standard in Argentina. We continue our series on industrial processing with a look at the shelling operation, while Tomra Food presents its newly released eBook on the profitable use of data from sorting machines. Finally, we dedicate the nutritional area of the magazine to peanut oil and its properties.
