American Peanut Ingredients, LLC (API) is a food and beverage manufacturer based in Donalsonville, Georgia. It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of American Peanut Growers Group (APGG), LLC, a grower-owned company founded in 2003 that processes about 250,000 tons of peanuts each year. APGG runs peanut buying points, warehouses, a shelling plant, a blanching plant, and cold storage, and in 2021 established API by building a 135,000-square-foot facility next to its existing operations to expand shelling capacity and add peanut ingredient production. API focuses on manufacturing ready-to-eat peanut ingredients, including dry roasted split peanuts, dry roasted peanut granules, and dry roasted peanut paste, butter, and variegate, intended for bulk packaging. The arrangement enhances APGG's vertical integration within the peanut supply chain by adding in-house production of peanut ingredients alongside shelling, storage, and processing capabilities.
