The analysis identified factors affecting market participants' attitudes toward selected market alternatives for US shelled peanuts using a mirrorimage survey design and multivariate probit. Agreement or disagreement among shellers, among processors, and between shellers and processors is ascertained via matching patterns of mirror‐image profiles. Results indicate that the computerized cash market might hold promise as a starting point in the implementation of a centralized market for shelled peanuts with or without the government program in effect.
