Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are one of India’s leading agricultural exports, valued for their rich oil content, protein, and versatile uses. India produces a wide range of groundnut varieties that are carefully cleaned, graded, and processed to meet international standards. Exported in raw, roasted, blanched, and in-shell forms, Indian groundnuts are highly demanded in global markets for direct consumption, food processing, oil extraction, and confectionery.
