Why Source Cashew Nuts from India?

India is the world's largest cashew processor, handling 55–60% of global raw cashew nut (RCN) supply. Raw cashews are imported from West Africa (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Tanzania) and East Africa, then processed in India's advanced shelling and grading factories — primarily in Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh.

India's cashew processing industry produces over 750,000 metric tons of processed cashew kernels annually. The combination of large processing capacity, skilled labour, competitive cost structure, and strict export quality systems makes India the default sourcing origin for international cashew buyers.

Radiance Overseas sources cashews from APEDA-registered processing units in Kerala and Goa. All units are ISO 22000 / GMP+ compliant. For organic cashews, the processing units hold valid NOP and EU Organic certificates. We can supply conventional, organic, and fair-trade certified cashew depending on buyer requirements.

Key buyer advantage: India offers the widest grade range (W180 to W450 and beyond), consistent availability across seasons, and direct FOB/CIF pricing with complete traceability from farm to port.
