National Peanut Board
Our farmers are the heart of it all
The National Peanut Board is a 100% farmer-funded national research, promotion and education group in support of all things peanuts. NPB represents all peanut-growing states, with board members and alternates exclusively from each of the 11 major peanut-producing states, plus one at-large member and alternate representing minor-producing states. There are approximately 7,000 peanut-farming families across the United States. Together, they produce around 6 billion pounds of peanuts annually, with 75% of the crop used right here in the U.S.
Our mission
We are dedicated to advancing the value of U.S.-grown peanuts and strengthening the future of peanut-farming families through strategic promotion and innovative research.
Our values
To us, peanuts aren’t just a snack — they’re storytellers. They carry traditions, show off resilience and pack flavor that’s been part of American life for generations. (Honestly, is there anything more iconic than peanuts at a ballgame or a PB&J that just hits the spot?)
What we stand
for, everyday
We’re obsessed with peanuts, but it goes a little deeper than that. These are the beliefs that shape how we show up every day from the fields where peanuts grow to the tables where families eat.
Good stewards
We uphold peanut farmers’ pride in growing a beloved food that nurtures families, communities and the land — today and for generations to come.
Wellness advocates
We support access to delicious and nutritious food for people of all ages worldwide. We’re a trusted, evidence-based resource for consumer and health professionals.
Food allergy champions
We embody the spirit of our founding Board to eradicate peanut allergies with empathy and innovation.
