Cashew

Cashew is a high-value nut category with strong year-round demand from snack manufacturers, confectionery brands, bakeries and food service. Exporters on this page supply a wide range of cashew kernel grades—from whole white pieces to splits and broken grades—along with in-shell product where required. Key origins include India, Vietnam and West African producing countries, each with established processing and export infrastructure built around global B2B trade.

Professional buyers typically evaluate cashew offers on grade (W320, W240, W180 and others), colour, moisture, defect levels, roasting suitability and compliance with food-safety standards. Exporters can provide raw kernels for roasting and flavouring at destination, or value-added roasted and seasoned products under contract packing arrangements. Many suppliers hold certifications such as BRC, HACCP, ISO 22000 and, in some cases, organic or fair-trade labels, enabling access to modern retail and premium channels.

Logistics and packaging are critical for preserving product quality and controlling rancidity. Cashew shipments are usually packed in vacuum-sealed tins or pouches placed in cartons, then loaded into containers under carefully controlled conditions. Exporters listed on TradesLynk are experienced in managing container inspection, fumigation where required, temperature control and documentation, including phytosanitary certificates and certificates of origin. Buyers can request detailed specifications, shelf-life declarations and allergen statements to support internal QA and retailer requirements.
