U.S. producers have until December 11 to enroll in the 2026 Agricultural Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage programs, with an option to sign a multi-year contract through 2031. The report says the previous year’s average peanut price was $470 per ton, below the $630 reference price, making producers eligible for PLC support subject to program deductions.
PLC payments can help support peanut growers’ cash flow after low prices, but payments do not directly change crop availability or feed demand. The effect on broader commodity prices is likely limited.
