Premium cashew kernels sourced from India, Vietnam, and West Africa. BRC and IFS certified supply chain for European buyers.
Cashew nuts are one of the fastest-growing tree nut categories in Europe, driven by snacking trends, plant-based diets, and clean-label demand. Global production exceeds 4 million metric tonnes of raw cashew nuts annually, with Vietnam, India, and West Africa dominating processing and exports. Corsodoro connects European manufacturers, retailers, and food service companies with certified cashew suppliers across all major origins - offering W180 through W450 grades, splits, and pieces in both conventional and organic supply chains.
Grades are classified by the AFI (Association of Food Industries) standard, based on kernel count per pound (454g). All grades available in conventional and organic.
| Grade | Description | Kernels / lb | Typical Use | Indicative Price (EUR/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W180 | King size - largest whole white kernels | 170–180 | Premium retail, gift packs, airline snacks | 10.50 – 13.00 |
| W240 | Standard premium - most popular retail grade | 220–240 | Retail packs, roasted snacks, food service | 8.50 – 11.00 |
| W320 | Most traded grade globally | 300–320 | Snacking, bakery, confectionery, food manufacturing | 7.00 – 9.50 |
| W450 | Smaller whole kernels | 400–450 | Trail mixes, food manufacturing, ingredient use | 6.00 – 8.00 |
| Splits (LP/SP) | Large and small pieces, naturally split | - | Bakery, confectionery, nut butters, toppings | 5.50 – 7.50 |
| Pieces (SWP/BB) | Small white pieces and butts | - | Nut butter, paste, bakery ingredients, industrial | 4.50 – 6.50 |

Corsodoro maintains direct relationships with processors and exporters across the world's leading cashew-producing regions.
India is the world's third-largest cashew producer and second-largest processor. Goa and Kerala have a centuries-old cashew processing tradition, known for hand-grading and premium quality. Indian W180 and W240 grades are considered among the best globally. Strong organic and Fairtrade certification infrastructure.
Vietnam is the world's largest cashew processor and exporter, handling over 60% of global trade. Binh Phuoc province is the processing hub. Vietnamese factories offer high-volume, mechanised processing with competitive pricing. Ideal for W320 and W450 grades at scale. BRC and IFS certification widely available.
One of West Africa's fastest-growing cashew origins. Raw cashew nut (RCN) quality is excellent with high kernel outturn ratios. Increasing local processing capacity. Fairtrade and organic certified supply chains available. A key origin for European buyers seeking African-origin diversification.
The world's largest producer of raw cashew nuts by volume, accounting for over 25% of global RCN production. Local processing is expanding rapidly with government investment. Competitive pricing and growing certification availability make Ivory Coast a strategic sourcing origin.
East Africa's leading cashew origin with production concentrated in the southern Mtwara and Lindi regions. Tanzanian cashews are known for their rich, buttery flavour profile. Growing processing infrastructure and organic certification programs. Excellent for buyers seeking unique origin stories.
All Corsodoro cashew supply chains are backed by internationally recognised food safety and sustainability certifications. We match your specific certification requirements with verified suppliers.

Organic cashews are available from India (NPOP/EU Organic) and select West African origins. Fairtrade-certified cashews are sourced from smallholder cooperatives in Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and India. All processing facilities hold BRC or IFS certification as a minimum requirement.

Cashew harvest seasons vary by origin, which allows Corsodoro to maintain year-round supply by rotating between hemispheres and regions.
Processed cashew kernels are available year-round from warehoused stock. New-crop supply from major origins typically arrives in European ports between April and August. Tanzania's counter-seasonal harvest (Oct–Jan) provides additional supply continuity.
The most commonly traded cashew kernel grades are W180 (King size, 170–180 kernels per pound), W240 (standard premium, 220–240 per pound), and W320 (the global benchmark, 300–320 per pound). W320 accounts for the largest share of international trade. Beyond whole kernels, splits (LP, SP) and pieces (SWP, BB) are widely used in food manufacturing, bakery, and nut butter production. All grades follow the AFI (Association of Food Industries) classification system.
Corsodoro sources cashew kernels from the world's leading origins: India (Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra), Vietnam (Binh Phuoc - the world's largest processing hub), Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Tanzania. Each origin offers distinct advantages in terms of flavour profile, pricing, and certification availability. We maintain direct relationships with processors and exporters in all these regions, enabling us to match specific buyer requirements.
Our cashew supply chains are available with BRC Global Standards, IFS Food, HACCP, EU Organic (Regulation 2018/848), USDA Organic, and Fairtrade certification. Organic cashews are sourced primarily from India and West Africa. Fairtrade-certified supply comes from smallholder cooperatives. All processing partners hold at least BRC or IFS certification, which is required for supply to European retail and food manufacturing.
Minimum order quantities start at approximately 500–750 kg (one pallet) for warehoused European stock. For direct-origin shipments, a full container load (FCL) of 15–17 metric tonnes in a 20-foot container is the standard order size. LCL (less than container load) shipments are available for buyers requiring smaller volumes or testing new origins and grades.
