2024.07.24

Abstract

Peanut production in the U.S. has seen fluctuating trends over the years. Historically, the U.S. has been one of the world’s largest producers, with key growing regions in the Southeast, including Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Production peaked in the late 20th century but has experienced variability due to factors like weather conditions, pest challenges, and market demand. In 2023, U.S. production reached 5.89 billion pounds, a notable recovery from previous years. Advances in farming technology, improved crop management, and increased global demand have played key roles in stabilizing and slightly boosting output.

U.S. peanut production has experienced significant fluctuations since 1909, with the highest recorded production of 7.11 billion pounds in 2017. Early on, production grew steadily due to increasing demand and expanded farming regions, especially in the Southeast. However, production has been affected by factors like drought, market conditions, and pest infestations. As of 2023, the U.S. total stands at 82.8% of its 2017 peak. While still a major producer, output has been somewhat variable in recent years, influenced by environmental and economic factors, as well as advancements in farming practices.
