Georgia is the leading state in peanut production in the South and across the United States.

Georgia is the top producer of peanuts in the United States, producing nearly half of the country’s peanut crop. The state’s warm climate and sandy soil make it ideal for growing peanuts, and the crop plays a crucial role in Georgia's agricultural economy. Peanuts are grown primarily in the southern and central parts of the state, with major peanut-producing counties like Terrell and Mitchell. Georgia's peanuts are used in a variety of products, including peanut butter, snacks, and oils. The state's leadership in peanut production has earned it the nickname "The Peanut Capital of the World."
