Tanzanian Groundnuts Supplier & Exporter

Groundnuts

Groundnuts are sourced from the western and southern regions and supplied shelled or in shell, depending on the buyer. Because groundnuts carry aflatoxin risk, lots are dried, hand and machine sorted, stored on pallets and laboratory tested against the destination market's limit before any consignment is released.
