We look at peanut growing in Nicaragua, an important source for the European market; in the law and regulations section, we discuss the proposal by the EU Commission to change the current legislation in order to allow the new technologies of genetic editing, while we talk about the new breeding techniques with executives of the El Carmen company. The blanching process is the subject of an article within industrial processing. We explore the potential of peanuts as an ingredient for snacks with an interview on a delicacy from Malaysia: the Pau Kacang. As far as international markets are concerned, we look at the trade flows in Asia with some insightful infographics as we did for Europe and the Americas in previous WPM editions.
