Cashew Nuts from Nigeria: Exporter, Supplier, Shipping
Nigerian raw cashew nuts (RCN) from Kwara, Ogun, Oyo, Enugu, and Kogi states, graded on KOR, nut count, and moisture for processors and re exporters.
We supply raw cashew nuts (RCN) from West African origins, primarily Nigeria, during the March to July harvest window. Our sourcing team runs KOR (kernel outturn ratio) checks in origin before purchase, so what ships is what was tested.
Buyers receive loading photos, cutting test reports, and moisture readings before the bill of lading is issued. We work exclusively against firm contracts to avoid the pricing surprises that plague the RCN market.
