Exin Exports

Cashew Nuts

Product Overview

For nearly three decades, India has been the leader in cashew nuts export worldwide, and it is easy to see why. India has long been recognised as the largest exporter of cashew nuts in India in terms of global reach, India's coastal growing belts in Maharashtra and Goa produce cashew nuts with a naturally rich flavor and a high rifling rate that is sought after globally. 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.


When looking into how to export cashew nuts from India, one will realize that the grade and quality of processing is what matters most. 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


Being a trusted name, cashew nut export from India gives us the ability to do more than just the shipping. 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..
