| The production, consumption and trade of peanut in China were discussed in details, as well as the development history and status of the peanut crushing industry and food processing industry.In addition, the main problems existing in China’s peanut industry were analyzed, and policy recommendations to promote the healthy development of the peanut industry were put forward. In recent years, the output of peanut in China has exceeded 17 million tons. The yield and unit yield of peanuts rank first in the world, and the overall consumption of peanuts has maintained a steady growth. Export is the mainly form of China’s peanut trade, which also plays an important role in the world peanut trade, and import plays only a subsidiary role. Although China’s peanut industry has developed in recent years, there are still some problems such as few special, high-yield and high-quality peanut varieties, no formed advantageous industrial belt, relatively weak peanut processing foundation, and the excessive use of pesticides and Aspergillus flavus pollution during the process of the production, harvesting, storage, transportation, processing, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to increase policy support, strengthen research on breeding, expand large-scale production and industrialization, encourage peanut processing technology innovation, and implement peanut oil premium brand development strategy and standardization construction to promote the healthy development of peanut industry in China. |
