U.S.
Peanut Sector Adapts to Major Policy Changes
With the elimination of quotas under the 2002
Farm Act, U.S. peanut producers now respond to market forces
rather than quota rights. Peanut production has risen in the
Southeast, where producers have been more efficient, and has
fallen in other regions.With the exit of less efficient producers,average
yields have risen.
