While peanut meal itself is not used as a fertilizer or soil amendment, its role in animal nutrition can influence the availability and cost of animal-derived fertilizers that may be used in fruit and vegetable cultivation. Additionally, peanuts are often part of crop rotation practices that can benefit the soil quality for fruit and vegetable production. In the peanut meal market, there are several notable players.
