Cashew Nuts Export from India
Product Overview
India has been a major hub for Cashew Nuts Export from India, known for quality kernels sourced from coastal growing regions such as Maharashtra and Goa. At Exin Exports, we directly partner with processing units in the mentioned belts to procure cashew nuts that are graded, moisture controlled, and vacuum sealed as per international standards before leaving the processing facility.
For buyers exploring Cashew Nuts Export from India, grade selection and processing quality are among the most important factors to consider. We provide the full grade spectrum, from W-450 to W-180 (W-180 being the largest and highest quality kernel). This means that you can provide either the highest quality cashew nuts to a retail brand, or you can provide the same nuts to a food processing brand. Our product is customized depending on the requirements of your buyers. Every product is subjected to moisture content testing and is packed only after the process of color sorting and grading
With experience in Cashew Nuts Export from India, we support buyers with traceable documentation, FSSAI and APEDA records, quality test reports, phytosanitary certificates, and private-label packaging. We maintain a traceable documentation system of FSSAI, APEDA, quality test reports, and phytosanitary certificates to meet the demands of authorities in each of our export markets. We also provide private label packaging to clients who wish to export cashew from India under their own brand, meaning we do the processing and they do the marketing..

Quality Variants We Offer
The quality of cashews can be analyzed based on size, color, and moisture content. One of the questions asked by prospective buyers looking to export cashew nuts from India, is which grade they should choose. The answer is subjective, depending on who your buyers are and what your market is. We supply cashews in all grades, and we will inform you which grade is suitable.
1. Standard Commercial Grade
For your first export of cashew from India, grades W-320 and W-450 are recommended. These grades are the most widely traded and are suitable for catering, retail, and food processing. These grades also have well-defined export requirements and are the easiest grades to sell in the majority of markets. The cashews are processed and tested for FSSAI and APEDA requirements.
2. Premium Whole Kernel (W-180 to W-240)
These premium grade whole kernels are favored by many premium snack producers and high-end retailers because the whole kernels are an attractive light ivory color. Customers are willing to pay a premium price for these snack kernels because they also receive an attractive retail price. These cashew kernels are vacuum sealed packed in 10 kg tins.
3. Organic (NPOP & NOP Certified)
These cashew nuts are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and are processed in certified organic facilities. Customers are increasingly buying these nuts because of the increasing popularity of clean label snacks in North America and Europe. There is also full documentation of NPOP and NOP provided with each shipment.
