Peanut Information Network System

Dr. Yen-Con Hung, also introduced the group to a new web site that is being developed during the Hot Topics Seminar. This web site, Peanut Information Network System (PINS), will be one central place to find peanut organizations, peanut related publications, research results and training materials. The material on the Web site which is funded through USAID Peanut CRSP Project will be organized in three categories focusing on the producer, processor and consumer. The producer section will contain information useful for peanut farming and will contain information on agronomics and fertilization, diseases, pest management, irrigation, peanut drying and harvesting, peanut grading and testing as well as peanut storage. The processor section contains information on aflatoxin management, processing and sensory qualities, postharvest handling and storage, value added products and biodiesel. The consumer section highlights recipes, nutrition and health information and information on peanut allergies. Check out the new web site at www.worldpeanutinfo.com or www.ugapeanuts.com. The site is not available yet so check back often.
