Luhua Group, a leading Chinese edible oil producer, has been at the forefront of agricultural innovation, particularly in the development of high oleic acid peanuts.

Since 2009, its dedicated agricultural technology promotion company has been focused on breeding, testing, demonstrating, and promoting high-quality peanut varieties.

Luhua Group has successfully developed a series of high oleic acid peanut varieties since 2013. These varieties are characterized by high oil content, high yield, and exceptional adaptability to various growing regions, including Henan, Hebei, and Shandong.

The research and development of high oleic acid peanuts is a complex and time-consuming process. Luhua Group has collaborated with numerous research institutions to continuously refine peanut varieties and increase their oleic acid content.

This commitment to research and development culminated in 2017 with the launch of a high oleic acid peanut oil boasting an impressive 75-percent oleic acid content. This milestone marked a significant advancement in the Chinese peanut oil industry.

High oleic acid oils are renowned for their nutritional benefits. By developing and producing these oils, Luhua Group not only enhances consumer health but also increases the income of peanut farmers.

The company has achieved full control over its entire value chain, from seed breeding to oil production. This vertical integration ensures the quality and safety of its products.

The company has also established high oleic acid peanut cultivation clusters in various regions of China, including Shandong province, Henan province, Jiangsu province, Liaoning province, and Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
