  • Where does peanut oil come from?
  • Peanut (groundnut, earth nut) oil production worldwide was about 5.4 million metric tons (MMT) in 2012/2013 and has remained fairly static over the past decade ( USDA, FAS, 2014 ). Worldwide, peanut seed production amounts to about 37 MMT primarily from China, India, US, Nigeria, and Indonesia with the remainder 15% from 15 other countries.
  • What crops are grown in Mali?
  • Agricultural production in Mali is largely dominated by cotton and grains, including rice, corn, millet, sorghum, and wheat. Many agricultural sub-sectors, such as shea butter, mangoes, peanuts, cashews, and biofuels, remain largely underexploited and provide a unique opportunity for investors.
  • What are some constraints to crop production in Mali?
  • Other constraints to crop production in many parts of Mali include labor (not necessarily land), along with low use of agriculture equipment and inputs (traction, plows, donkey-carts, fertilizer, improved seeds, etc.), and the financial means to purchase these technologies.
  • What is the agricultural potential of Mali?
  • Mali has important and underexploited agricultural potential, especially in the southern and central regions. The Niger River Authority (Office du Niger), a state-owned enterprise, manages about 127,000 hectares of organized agricultural land, primarily through governing land transactions and water management.
  • How much peanut oil is produced in the United States?
  • Peanut (groundnut, earth nut) oil production worldwide was about 5.4 million metric tons and has remained fairly static over the past decade. In 2014, 291,000 metric tons were crushed for oil (12%) in the US. A large portion of the US peanut crop is utilized as whole unshelled/salted peanuts and in peanut butter.
  • What is the basis for Prime crude peanut oil?
  • Basis for prime crude peanut oil: must refine to a red color of 10 (AOCS) and with a loss of weight below 12%, with moisture and insolubles less than 1%. Settlements are made in accordance with rule 201 which provides discounts for oil not meeting prime crude (off color, refining loss, free fatty acids).
