In this issue of World Peanut Magazine, we cover the difficult cycle of the Brazilian crop with an interview with Coplana’s Robson Fonseca. We take a look at the Farm and Fork initiative in the European Union, the progress achieved in the last few years, and the effects of the unrest of European farmers during the first half of 2024. A related topic is the use of the pesticide chlorothalonil, a clear example of the trade-offs faced by policy-makers when regulating pesticides. We continue our series on industrial processing by describing the blanching phase and, finally, we look at the features and potentials of a once under-rated peanut product: the skins.
