The Georgia Peanut Commission is a state-level agricultural organization based in Tifton, Georgia, formed in 1961 under the Commodities Promotion Act. It serves as a promotional and educational body for peanuts, conducting programs in promotion, research, and education to support the Georgia peanut industry. Its activities are financed through a producer assessment and facilitated by a five-member elected board, with a public presence reflected in its familiar red bag imagery and social media outreach. The commission collaborates with industry stakeholders and activities such as events and partnerships to keep producers informed about research, policy, and international trade developments, while also promoting peanuts as a poultry feed ingredient and other applications. Georgia’s peanut sector is described as a substantial regional industry within the farming sector, and the commission describes itself as representing thousands of family farmers dedicated to advancing the Georgia peanut program.
