A relative of a bean family, Peanut was domesticated around 5000 BC in Peru. Today, 115 countries are growing peanuts commercially. In 2009, world production was 35 520 257 tonnes, leaving an average Earthling with 5.2 kg of peanuts to munch on. Assuming 60% edibility, that is enough to last you over 9 days at 2000 calories a day.
World harvest of 2009 could feed 166.4 million people at 2000 calories a day, or entire populations of Nigeria and Austria combined. World's peanuts have enough protein to supply 292 mln people with 50 grams a day.
23 507 014 hectares , or over 1.49% of all arable land in the world, were used for peanut production in 2009, a territory similar in size with Laos.
Biggest producer in the world is China, with 13 341 075 tons produced in 2009.
Biggest producer per Capita is Senegal with 80.2 kg produced in 2009. Senegal and many other countries of West Africa, where peanut consumption is substantial, have a somewhat significantly elevated rates of liver cancer, which many link to a high peanut consumption, so be careful.
Almost 44 % of all arable land of Senegal is used for peanut production. Peanuts constitute up to 60% of all agricultural exports from Senegal , 3/4 of which is in form of peanut oil.
Best yields worldwide since 1961 were in 2007 (1689.2 kg/ha), worst were in 1965 (881.8 kg/ha)
Record yield belongs to Cyprus, 12297.2kg/ha (1999).
Best crop worldwide since 1961 was in 2008 (38 216 299 t), worst --14 134 052 t in 1961.
