Peanuts, also known as groundnuts, are one of the most lucrative crops for farmers in India — especially in Gujarat. Their adaptability, strong market demand, and multiple by-products make them a reliable source of income.
High Market Demand
Peanuts are consumed globally in various forms — roasted, peanut butter, confectionery, cooking oil, and even livestock feed. This ensures steady demand throughout the year.
Short Growing Cycle
Compared to many other crops, peanuts have a relatively short maturity period (90–120 days), allowing farmers to plant and harvest multiple crops annually.
Low Production Cost
Peanut farming requires moderate inputs, and with proper soil and weather conditions, farmers can achieve high yields with comparatively lower investment.
Multiple Revenue Streams
- Kernels for direct sale or processing
- Peanut Oil with high market value
- Peanut Cake for cattle feed
- Organic Varieties for premium buyers
Climate Compatibility
Peanuts thrive in sandy loam soil and moderate rainfall, conditions that are ideal in Gujarat, ensuring consistent yields.
Government & Export Support
Schemes for agricultural loans, subsidies, and support for export-oriented peanut farming help farmers maximize profitability.
