Gov. Kemp: American Peanut Growers Group to Open New Processing Facility, Expand Shelling
Plant
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced Georgia-based American Peanut Growers Group (APGG) will invest $85 million in expanding operations in the state, creating 90 jobs. In addition to expanding its current Donalsonville shelling plant, APGG will open a new food processing facility on its 45-acre campus in Seminole County.
"It's truly exciting to see American Peanut Growers Group create jobs across rural south Georgia and celebrate the hardworking Georgians of Seminole County who put Georgiagrown food on the table for countless families in our state and around the world," said Governor Kemp. "Thanks to the resilience, innovation, and hard work of our farmers, Georgia peanuts account for over half of all U.S peanut production. This announcement is great news for the number one industry in the top state for business!"
Headquartered in Seminole County and grower-owned, American Peanut Growers Group produces approximately 200,000 tons of peanuts per year. In addition to local buyers in South Georgia, APGG utilizes the Port of Savannah to reach many customers around the world. APGG's customers include major confectioners, peanut butter manufacturers, and snack-nut roasters.
"We are extremely excited about this project and the opportunities it will provide for economic growth in Southwest Georgia. Per capita, peanut consumption has risen to an alltime high for the second year in a row, which presents an ideal situation allowing us to further drive value through the industry's supply chain," said Jeremy Mayes, General Manager for American Peanut Growers Ingredients. "We are thankful for our farmer-owners demonstrating their willingness to invest in the project and community. Likewise, the support of city and county officials, as well as local industries such as LMC has allowed us to move quickly on our infrastructure needs."
