Tianjin Market Overview
Tianjin Port handles 280,000 MT of peanuts annually for North China's processing sector. Most volume goes to Shandong and Hebei protein extraction plants within 200 km radius. Buyers here need consistent count and low moisture because automated crushing equipment can't handle variable sizes. HPS 60/70 works for plants that prioritize cost over premium oil yield. Port clearance takes 4-6 days with proper documentation. Container freight from Mundra runs $1,200-$1,500 depending on season. Chinese buyers order 3-5 containers per shipment, usually quarterly contracts.

Grade Specifications
This grade maintains max 10% moisture and 3% admixture with 5% defective kernel allowance. Count runs 60-70 kernels per ounce, which means medium-sized kernels suitable for crushing. Protein extraction plants prefer this because it processes faster than larger counts. Lower moisture prevents mold during 25-day sea transit. The 5% defective tolerance keeps pricing down while protein yield stays at 24-26%. Hand-picked select means visual sorting, not machine grading. Good enough for meal production where appearance doesn't matter.

Pricing & Value
This grade runs 15-18% cheaper than bold grades but delivers similar protein content for extraction. Processing plants save money because they're crushing anyway, so kernel size doesn't affect final product. The 5% defective allowance cuts cost without hurting protein yield. Freight cost per MT is lower with higher loading capacity. Buyers working on tight margins for animal feed or low-grade protein powder find this grade profitable. Payment terms flexible for repeat orders.
