Semarang Market Overview
Semarang handles peanut exports through Tanjung Emas Port, the main gateway for Central Java commodities. The region produces Java-type peanuts year-round with two main harvests. Local processors supply bakeries across Southeast Asia and Middle East markets. Buyers choose this origin for consistent kernel size and lower freight costs compared to other Indonesian ports. The 50/60 count grade moves in 20ft containers, typically 18-20 MT loads. Processing facilities near the port reduce inland transport time. Most shipments go to Malaysia, Philippines, and UAE food manufacturers.

Java 50/60 Specifications
This grade contains 50-60 kernels per ounce with max 9% moisture content. Admixture stays under 2%, defective kernels at 3%.

The kernel size fits standard chopping equipment without extra sorting. Color is light tan to pink skin. Good oil content for flavor release in baked products.

The count tolerance means less sorting expense at origin. Standard moisture grade reduces drying costs. Works for high-volume cereal lines where premium grades add unnecessary cost. Freight from Semarang runs cheaper than Surabaya for Southeast Asian buyers. Decent margin for importers supplying food manufacturers.
