Groundnut Meal Suppliers & Exporters from India
Groundnut meal (also known as peanut oil cake or peanut meal) is the high-protein by-product obtained after oil extraction from Arachis hypogaea (peanut/groundnut) kernels. With a crude protein content of 45–50%, it is one of the most cost-effective and digestible plant-based protein sources for livestock, poultry and aquaculture feed globally.
Joshi Foods and Spices is a leading manufacturer, exporter and bulk supplier of premium groundnut meal from Mahuva, Gujarat, India — one of India's largest groundnut processing regions. We supply both expeller-pressed and solvent-extracted grades to global B2B buyers including feed manufacturers, agri traders and livestock nutrition companies.
Every batch is tested for protein content (45–50%), moisture (max 12%) and aflatoxin (<20 ppb) — the three critical quality benchmarks for export-grade groundnut meal — with batch COA provided for all shipments.
Why India is a Leading Groundnut Meal Supplier
India is one of the world's top groundnut producing and processing nations, with Gujarat alone accounting for a major share of national groundnut output. Mahuva in Saurashtra, Gujarat, sits at the heart of this production belt, giving Joshi Foods and Spices direct access to fresh, high-quality Arachis hypogaea kernels and efficient port logistics via Mundra.
Our groundnut meal is available in decorticated (shell-free, higher protein) and un-decorticated grades, processed by solvent extraction or expeller pressing, enabling us to match buyer specifications for protein content, fat levels and crude fibre — backed by FSSAI, HACCP certification and non-GMO status on request.
