BeninHow cashew is traded
- Cashew apples are picked, the nut is removed and dried in the sun. This raw cashew nut (RCN) is sold in jute bags.
- Raw nuts are judged by a cutting test: the KOR (kernel outturn ratio) in pounds of usable kernel per 80 kg bag, the nut count per kg and the moisture. Around 48 lbs and above is commonly treated as standard quality.
- Most raw nuts from Africa are shipped to Vietnam and India for shelling, peeling and grading into kernels, though processing in Africa is growing.
- Several countries regulate the season: Côte d'Ivoire sets a minimum farmgate price, and Tanzania sells raw nuts through warehouse receipts and electronic auctions.
