The 14th International Peanut Conference on
The year 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the International Conference on Advances in Arachis through Genomics and Biotechnology (AAGB). Since its inauguration in 2006, AAGB has been successfully convened across the world, providing a high-level, specialized international platform for academic exchange and collaboration among experts and scholars in the fields of peanut genomics and biotechnology.
To commemorate this significant milestone, AAGB-2026 will be held in Guangzhou, China. The conference is jointly hosted by the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GDAAS) and The Peanut Research Foundation (TPRF, USA), and organized by the Crops Research Institute, GDAAS.
As the largest peanut production region in South China, Guangdong cultivates more than 5 million mu (approximately 333,000 hectares) annually, offering a solid industrial foundation and strong scientific research capacity that provide an excellent setting for the conference. The conference is expected to bring together more than 200 experts and scholars from over 30 countries.
