OLAM International is buying another peanut sheller in the US, Brooks Peanut Company, for US$85 million.

The purchase, coming after its acquisition of McCleskey Mills Inc (MMI) in December 2014, would strengthen its position as the third-largest peanut sheller in the US and expand its sourcing network into new areas in Alabama and Florida, the agri-commodities firm said.
