Peanut (Moong Phali)

Origin & Cultivation of Peanuts

Peanuts are believed to have originated in South America, but they are now widely cultivated in Asia, Africa, and the United States. In Pakistan, peanuts are mainly grown in:

• Punjab (Chakwal, Attock, Bhakkar, Mianwali)

• Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)

• Potohar region

Pakistan produces thousands of tons of peanuts every year, especially harvested in October to December. These fresh, crunchy peanuts are then roasted, salted, and sold across the country.
