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.
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.
RCN is steam-roasted to soften the shell. Shelling releases the kernel while corrosive Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) is drained off and neutralised.
Kernels are dried in the borma to loosen the testa, then peeled by hand or machine to produce clean, undamaged white kernels.
Wholes are graded by count from W180 through W450, with splits, butts, pieces, scorched and baby-bit grades separated to buyer specification.
Graded kernels pass metal detection and are packed in 11.34 kg tins or vacuum pouches with nitrogen flushing to preserve freshness.
Cartons are palletised and containerised with applicable export documentation for shipment to buyers across global markets.
