Questions buyers ask
Raw Cashew Nuts — FAQ
What is the price of raw cashew nuts per ton?
RCN prices follow each origin's season, outturn and nut count. Send the origin, quantity and destination and we quote a firm per-ton price for the current crop.
What does cashew outturn (lbs) mean?
Outturn is the weight of usable kernel, in pounds, recovered from an 80 kg bag of raw cashew nuts. Higher outturn means more kernel per bag; 46–52 lbs is our typical range.
What do W240, W320 and W450 mean?
The number is roughly how many whole white kernels make up one pound: W240 kernels are larger, W450 smaller. W320 is the most widely traded grade.
Which origins do you buy cashew from?
Benin, through our Cotonou office opened in 2013, and Tanzania, for the East African crop.
What is the minimum order quantity?
One full container load — typically 20–27 MT in a 40ft container depending on the commodity and packing.
Which Incoterms and payment terms do you offer?
FOB, CFR and CIF to any major port, or ex-works Dubai; payment by L/C at sight or usance, cash against documents, or telegraphic transfer for established buyers.
