Bulk shipments of shelled, non-roasted peanuts of mixed runner and Virginia varieties, designated specifically for industrial oil pressing.

• Provide shelling certificates confirming complete removal of shells per shelled peanut requirements
• Monitor peanut marketing quotas if applicable, as oil stock may have different quota allocations
