Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study of the peanut shelling industry was undertaken to analyze practices and methods employed by the industry. The industry is made up of plants designed to process farmers’ stock peanuts for sale to dealers, manufacturers, and industrial users. Operations consist of storing, cleaning, and shelling of farmers’ stock peanuts, and the grading, bagging, selling, and distributing the peanuts, either as roasting stock or shelled peanuts. The objective of the study on which this report is based was to provide economic data that would give the peanut shelling industry, manufacturers of peanut products, producers of farmers’ stock peanuts, Commodity Credit Corporation, trade, and other interested groups a better understanding of the characteristics, methods, and operating practices of the industry.
