NEW DELHI. India is still waiting for rain. Farmers have started harvesting peanuts in China and estimates are circulating in Brazil. Exports are really disappointing in Argentina and the US has witnessed some rain.

Yet, the sporadic arrival of fresh peanuts in Gujarat has left the market reliant on export demand and further price declines are anticipated.
