About This Dataset

Countries by Groundnut (Peanut) Production 2024

Countries ranked by total groundnut production in 2024, measured in millions of metric tons according to FAO data. China produces over 37% of the world's groundnuts — a dominance driven by extensive cultivation in Henan, Shandong, and Hebei provinces, where the oil-rich legume is processed into cooking oil, peanut butter, snack foods, and animal feed at industrial scale. India is the second largest producer, with groundnuts representing a critical source of edible oil and rural income across multiple states.
