Peanut Cultivation

Peanut is an important agricultural product grown particularly in regions with a Mediterranean climate and fertile soils. The trees typically prefer temperate climates and are resistant to drought. Soil quality, drainage, and sunlight are critical factors for pistachio cultivation.
Peanut trees can reach heights of 3 to 4 meters and their fruiting periods can vary depending on the growing conditions. They generally start bearing fruit within 7 to 10 years and reach maturity between 20 to 40 years. Pistachios, encased in a shell, grow underground and are usually harvested between September and October.
Peanut cultivation involves a series of steps from soil preparation to harvesting. Essential components of this process include soil analysis to determine appropriate pH levels, sapling planting, irrigation, fertilization, and combatting harmful organisms.
Peanuts usually grow in warm and temperate climate zones and require specific climate and soil conditions. The main regions for peanut cultivation include:
United States: Peanut cultivation is prevalent, particularly in the Southeastern and Southern United States (Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, and other states). Georgia, in particular, is a significant hub for peanut production in the USA.
Argentina: Peanut cultivation is practiced in some regions of South America.
China: Peanuts are also cultivated in certain regions of China.
India: Especially in the states of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu, peanut production takes place.
Nigeria: Peanut cultivation is quite widespread in certain regions of Africa.
Peanuts prefer warm, humid climates and well-drained, loamy soils. These regions provide suitable conditions for peanut cultivation, often carried out on a commercial scale. Climate and soil conditions are crucial for peanut cultivation, and these regions meet these requirements.
