Bulk Peanut Butter Price: What Sets It
Bulk peanut butter is priced per metric tonne or per kg, FOB an Indian port, and follows the peanut kernel market closely.
- Kernel market: peanuts make up 90–100% of the product, so the kernel price leads.
- Recipe: natural 100% peanut costs more per kg than stabilized or sweetened recipes.
- Aflatoxin standard: EU-compliant batches need tighter kernel selection and carry a premium.
- Packing: jars and pails cost more per kg than drums and IBCs.
- Currency and freight: the rupee–dollar rate and freight to your port.
Prices move with the crop and the market, so we quote on the day. Tell us your grade, quantity and port for a current FOB, CFR or CIF price.
Tested, Certified and Traceable
Every batch is metal-detected and tested for aflatoxin, Salmonella, Listeria and key chemistry before APEDA issues the Certificate of Export.
- Kernel selection (aflatoxin-tested)
- Blanching and roasting at an APEDA-registered unit
- Grinding, mixing and metal detection
- Batch test (aflatoxin, micro, chemistry)
- APEDA Certificate of Export

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you manufacture peanut butter in bulk for export?
Yes. Elysium Agri supplies bulk peanut butter from Gujarat, smooth or crunchy, natural or stabilized, in 200 kg drums, 20 kg pails, IBCs and retail jars, made under an FSSAI licence and tested for aflatoxin and microbiology on every batch.
What is the specification of bulk peanut butter?
Standard export peanut butter has at least 90% peanuts, 2% max moisture, 48–55% fat, at least 25% protein (dry basis), a smooth grind of about 254 µm or finer, aflatoxin to the market limit, and Salmonella and Listeria absent in 25 g.
What is the HS code for peanut butter?
Peanut butter falls under HS heading 2008.11 (groundnuts, otherwise prepared). In the EU it is CN 2008 11 10, which carries a 12.8% third-country duty. Confirm India's 8-digit code with your customs broker.
What is the difference between natural and stabilized peanut butter?
Natural peanut butter is made from peanuts only (salt optional), so the oil separates and needs stirring. Stabilized peanut butter has a small amount of vegetable-oil stabilizer, up to about 2%, which stops the oil separating and gives a longer ambient shelf life.
Does your peanut butter meet EU aflatoxin limits?
Yes, on request. For EU buyers we use aflatoxin-tested kernels and test each batch to the EU limit of 2 µg/kg B1 and 4 µg/kg total. For other markets we test to the destination limit, for example 15 µg/kg for USDA or FSSAI.
What packing do you offer for peanut butter?
We pack peanut butter in 200 kg steel or fibre drums with a food-grade liner, 20 or 25 kg pails, 20 kg bag-in-box, 1,000 kg IBC totes, and retail jars of 340 gms, 510 gms and 1 kg.
What is the shelf life of bulk peanut butter?
Stabilized peanut butter keeps for about 12 months at ambient temperature. Store below 25 °C, away from light.
Can you make private label peanut butter?
Yes. We can fill your recipe into jars under your own brand and label. See our Private Label Peanut Butter page for pack sizes and minimum quantities.
Who manufactures peanut butter in Gujarat for export?
Elysium Agri Corporation, based in Jamnagar, Gujarat, supplies bulk and private label peanut butter made from Gujarat peanuts, with batch-wise aflatoxin, microbiology and chemistry testing and APEDA export certification.
