Overview

About Cashew Kernels

India is the world’s largest processor of cashew nuts and a leading exporter of cashew kernels, with a processing industry centred on Kollam in Kerala and spread across Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra. Kernels are graded by size, colour and wholeness under AFI and CEPCI standards, from jumbo W180 to W450, scorched wholes, splits and pieces.

What to specify

Grade (count per pound), colour, broken percentage and moisture are the core terms. State the packing — tins or pouches — and, if your market needs it, a declared raw nut origin. Check aflatoxin and microbiological limits for your destination.

Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do cashew grades like W320 mean?

W stands for white wholes and the number is the approximate count of kernels per pound. W180 are the largest kernels and W450 the smallest; W320 is the most widely traded export grade.

How are your cashew kernels packed?

Standard export packing is two 25 lb vacuum tins or two 10 kg vacuum or CO₂-flushed pouches per carton, which protects the kernels from moisture and insects in transit.

Is the raw cashew nut grown in India?

Indian processors use both domestic raw cashew nut (Kerala, Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Odisha) and imported raw nut. If your market needs a declared nut origin, specify it in the contract and we will source accordingly.

Can you supply splits and pieces?

Yes — splits, butts, large and small white pieces are available for bakery, confectionery, sweets and cashew butter manufacturers.

Do you provide samples?

Yes, free pre-shipment samples of the contracted grade are sent by courier so you can check count, colour and taste.
