Peanut Supply Chain: From Farm to Feeder
Cultivation & Harvesting
In India, peanuts for bird feed are mainly cultivated in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. Key varieties include Runner/Bold and Spanish/Java, influenced by weather, soil, and farming techniques.
Initial Sorting & Cleaning
Peanuts are sorted to eliminate dirt and contaminants using specialized machinery. Only high-quality peanuts, sized 60/70, 80/100, or split, are selected to avoid health risks for birds like choking hazards.
Processing
Peanuts are blanched, roasted, or crushed to enhance flavor, nutritional value, and shelf life. Roasting and crushing make them easier to consume and digest for birds, especially smaller species.
Quality Control & Grading
Peanuts undergo stringent aflatoxin testing to meet safety standards. Quality control ensures peanuts are free of harmful contaminants, ensuring a safe and healthy product for bird feed.
Packaging & Distribution
Peanuts are packaged in various forms, including bulk sacks (1-1.25 tons) and 25 kg vacuum packs. Distribution channels ensure the product reaches retailers, catering to garden and wild bird keepers.
