Why FUSHKOV GCG
About the product
The groundnut is a valuable oil crop. Peanut oil is obtained from peanuts, whose oil content reaches 65% of their weight.
Like many other oils, peanut oil is produced by double pressing: cold pressing (oil yield of up to 30%) followed by hot pressing. The oil is then filtered and, where required, refined. Unrefined oil is reddish-brown with a pronounced taste and aroma; refined oil is light yellow, with a mild taste and odour.
Peanut oil has high nutritional value. It contains easily digestible fats, essential amino acids, vitamins A, E and B, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and other macro- and micronutrients, as well as phytosterols, phospholipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Applications
Unrefined peanut oil is widely used in Oriental and Asian cuisine. Beyond cooking, it is often used in cosmetics.
Other products in our vegetable oils section include sunflower oil, olive oil and coconut oil.

Types and grades
Peanut oil falls under HS heading 1508: 1508.10 for crude oil and 1508.90 for other oil, including refined. The Codex standard defines peanut oil (arachis, peanut or groundnut oil) as oil derived from the seeds of Arachis hypogaea L.
World market
The largest peanut producers are China, India and Nigeria: according to 2024/25 marketing-year data cited in a Texas A&M University analysis based on USDA figures, they account for most of the world crop. A large share of peanuts is crushed for oil within the producing countries.
For a buyer of bulk peanut oil, supply from Argentina, Brazil, Senegal, Nicaragua, India and Sudan offers a choice of origin and of refining grade, from unrefined to refined deodorised oil.
Storage and transport
Peanut oil is stored in clean, closed tanks or containers protected from light, heat and moisture, which slows oxidation. Unrefined oil is more sensitive to storage conditions than refined.
The oil ships in bulk in flexitanks, tank containers and tankers, or in packed form. Tanks are cleaned before filling, and transport after incompatible cargoes is not permitted.
How a deal works
Below is the typical sequence of an international commodity trade. Specific terms are always set by the contract between the parties.
For edible vegetable oils, buyers usually ask for certificates of quality and origin, plus documents confirming product safety under the importing country's requirements.
Delivery terms: Incoterms 2020 at a glance
The Incoterms rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) allocate costs, risks and delivery obligations between seller and buyer. The current edition, Incoterms 2020, contains 11 rules; the edition that applies is named in the contract. The rules most used in commodity trade are:
- FCA (Free Carrier): the seller hands the goods to the buyer's carrier at the agreed place;
- FOB (Free On Board): the seller is responsible for the goods until they are loaded on board the vessel at the port of shipment; further costs and risks pass to the buyer;
- CFR (Cost and Freight): the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes to the buyer once the goods are on board;
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight): as CFR, but the seller also insures the cargo for the buyer's benefit;
- DAP (Delivered at Place): the seller delivers the goods to the agreed destination, ready for unloading; the buyer handles import clearance.
FOB, CFR and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport; FCA and DAP to any mode of transport. The basis for each shipment is agreed in the contract.
