What Are the Common Types or Varieties Exported of Brazilian Peanuts?

Globally four major peanut types are cultivated: Runners, Valencia, Virginia, and Spanish. In Brazil, the runner type is the most commonly cultivated. Runner peanuts have been improved to suit the production and processing needs in Brazil. Runner type peanuts are well suited to mechanical harvesting and processing. This type of peanut has also been improved to give uniform maturation and higher yields.

The runner variety kernels are mostly uniform in size to a pod, which makes them perfect for evenly roasting. Also ideal to make peanut butter, confectionery and snacks.
