West Africa is one of the world’s most important cashew regions. Cashew is bought on measurable quality, so a precise conversation matters. These are parameters to discuss for your enquiry, not confirmed specifications.

Bought on measurable quality

Outturn (KOR), nut count and moisture determine value and how a lot performs for a processor. We keep the conversation focused on the parameters you actually buy against, and confirm current availability against them.

What to have ready

  • Product: raw cashew nuts (RCN) or another cashew product you are sourcing.
  • Kernel outturn ratio (KOR) and nut count your buyers expect.
  • Target moisture and defect tolerance for your standard.
  • Bag type and packaging suited to your handling and transit.

Commercial details

  • Indicative quantity and the unit you buy in.
  • Discharge port or destination country.
  • Preferred shipment window and any seasonality.

A note on honesty

We do not yet have our own photography of cashew lots, so the cashew page uses an illustration rather than a borrowed photograph presented as ours. Product, outturn and availability are confirmed on enquiry.
