What are the main grades of Indian cashews available for export?We export premium Indian cashews in various grades, including Jumbo (W180, W210), High Quality (W240), and Standard (W320, W450). We also supply specialized grades like Scorched Wholes (SW), Butts (B), Splits (S), and Large Pieces (LWP) for food manufacturing.

Which regions in India produce the best quality cashews?Our cashews are primarily sourced from the top growing regions in India, including Kerala (Kollam), Goa, and the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. These regions are globally renowned for producing cashews with high oil content and superior sweet flavor.
-
What is the shelf life and packaging for bulk cashew exports?Indian cashews have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place. For export, we use vacuum-sealed tins or multi-layer pouches (typically 10kg or 11.34kg/25lbs) within reinforced carton boxes to maintain freshness and prevent breakage during sea transit.
-
Which industries commonly use Indian cashews as an ingredient?Our cashews are widely used in the confectionery industry (chocolates and pralines), the dairy alternative sector (cashew milk and butter), premium snacking retail, and the HoReCa industry for gourmet culinary preparations.
