Bulk Erdnuss (Bulk Peanuts)

Overview

Bulk Erdnuss (bulk peanuts) refers to peanuts sold as a commodity in large quantities rather than as a branded retail package. As a commodity product, bulk peanuts may be sold raw, shelled, roasted, blanched, salted, or further processed (e.g., for oil or paste) and are typically packaged in sacks, polybags, totes, or bulk bins for food-service, industrial, or wholesale buyers.

Typical Origins and Manufacturing

Peanut cultivation and primary processing occur in many countries across multiple continents. Major producing countries historically include China, India, the United States, Nigeria, and Argentina, among others. Primary manufacturing steps for bulk peanuts include harvesting, drying, shelling, sorting/grading, optional roasting or blanching, and bulk packaging. Because production and processing are distributed globally, the manufacturing country for a specific bulk lot depends on the supplier and the lot's origin; therefore "Multiple countries" is the correct classification for the product overall.

Brand & Ownership

Bulk peanuts are usually sold by commodity traders, agricultural cooperatives, and processors rather than under a single global consumer brand. There is no single company that originates or ultimately owns the generic "Bulk Erdnuss" commodity—ownership and brand affiliation depend on the specific supplier, packer, or private-label purchaser. Large agribusinesses and regional processors may supply branded or private-label bulk peanuts, but the generic commodity itself does not have a single ultimate owner.

How to Verify for a Specific Lot

To determine the exact manufacturing country, brand, or ownership for a specific shipment, inspect the lot documentation and packaging for: supplier/packer name, country of origin statements, batch/lot codes, and any certification marks (e.g., food-safety or organic certifications). For supply-chain, regulatory, or labeling needs, request a certificate of origin or supplier declaration from the seller.

Practical Notes

• ProductType: bulk peanuts can be raw or processed; specify at purchase (raw, roasted, blanched, salted, etc.).
• ManufacturingCountry: dependent on supplier; treat as "Multiple countries" unless a specific lot label states a single country.
• BrandInfo: generic commodity—no single founding company or ultimate owner; substitute with supplier-specific data when available.
