Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The peanut industry of Virginia and eastern North Carolina is in the midst of changing its practice of handling peanuts in bags to bulk handling. This transition is taking place in the buying, storing, and shelling operations. Economic forces exist that will significantly influence the final impact of this technological shift in terms of grower incomes, processor profits, and industry organization. The objective of this study is two-fold: First, to identify the direction and magnitude of the changes that may be expected as a result of the shift from bag to bulk handling of farmers' stock peanuts in the Virginia-North Carolina area; and second, to spell out possible courses of action for the growers, first-buyers, and processors who will feel the impact of this technological shift.
