What's your definition of "work" there?

They need to make stuff that grows fast and has a relatively high price. Potatoes and peanuts don't particularly match either of those criteria.

Right, and also stuff that doesn't keep well anyway. Seasonality or needing to ship quickly to avoid spoilage aren't problems for potatoes either; if well-climate-controlled they keep for months.
