Imports and Exports of Peanuts in the Americas

We turn our attention to the Americas, a region which is both an important market for the peanut trade and a very significant place of production.

In this issue of World Peanut Magazine, we continue the cycle about peanut trade flows in the most significant regions. In the fifth issue (October 2022) we looked at Europe, now we turn our attention to the Americas, a region which is both an important market for the peanut trade and a very significant place of production. While the tables on the following pages display all the values of imports and exports from the three main producers of the area, namely the US, Argentina and Brazil, in the infographic we feature only the flows which represent an exchange of 1,000 or more metric tons for the sake of clarity. All the data refers to 2022. We consider separately the peanuts belonging to heading 1202.42 of the Harmonized System Classification (shelled peanuts) and those belonging to heading 2008.11 (prepared peanuts).

The sources of the data are the International Trade Centre for the US, INDEC for Argentina and Comexstat for Brazil.
