Processing

Cashew Processing

01

Cultivation

Plantation stage

Cashew is grown on coastal plantations where flowering and nut-set run through the dry season, with apples and raw nuts maturing together on the tree.

02

Harvest & Drying

To below 9% moisture

Fallen nuts are gathered, separated from the apple and sun-dried to below 9% moisture so Raw Cashew Nut (RCN) can be safely stored before processing.

03

Steaming & Shelling

CNSL drained

RCN is steam-roasted to soften the shell. Shelling releases the kernel while corrosive Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) is drained off and neutralised.

04

Borma Drying & Peeling

Testa removal

Kernels are dried in the borma to loosen the testa, then peeled by hand or machine to produce clean, undamaged white kernels.

05

Grading

By count per pound

Wholes are graded by count from W180 through W450, with splits, butts, pieces, scorched and baby-bit grades separated to buyer specification.

06

Packing

Vacuum or tin

Graded kernels pass metal detection and are packed in 11.34 kg tins or vacuum pouches with nitrogen flushing to preserve freshness.

07

Export Preparation

Container loading

Cartons are palletised and containerised with applicable export documentation for shipment to buyers across global markets.
