Premium Cashew Nuts from Kenya
Cashew nuts are harvested from cashew trees, dried, roasted to remove the toxic shell layer, and mechanically shelled to extract whole kernels. The kernels are sorted by size and grade, inspected for defects and discolouration, and packed in food-grade polypropylene bags, cartons, or bulk containers. Both raw and roasted formats meet international food safety standards, allergen declarations, and phytosanitary requirements for export to importing countries.
Cashew nuts are sourced and exported by Jabali Madini Ltd from Kenya through the Port of Mombasa to nut processors, confectionery manufacturers, and food distributors across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East. Strong demand exists from roasted nut packers, chocolate makers, nut butter producers, and snack manufacturers. The product is available FOB Mombasa in 20-foot container quantities with lead times of 2 to 4 weeks. Export documentation includes phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, bills of lading, and quality analysis reports.

Who Buys This Product
Our cashew nuts are imported by buyers across the following industry segments:
Roasted and Salted Snack Producers
Snack manufacturers purchase raw or roasted cashew kernels for further roasting, salting, and flavouring to create premium packaged snacks for retail distribution. The consistent quality and mild flavour profile appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking protein-rich alternatives to traditional salty snacks.
Chocolate and Confectionery Manufacturers
Confectionery makers incorporate roasted cashew kernels into chocolate clusters, pralines, and specialty candy formulations where the creamy texture provides textural contrast. The neutral flavour allows cashews to complement chocolate and other ingredients without competing with intended taste profiles.
Nut Butter and Plant-Based Food Companies
Food processors grind cashew kernels into smooth nut butters, paste, and cream for use in plant-based dairy alternatives, energy bars, and functional food products. The high fat content and emulsifying properties make cashews suitable for creating smooth, stable spreads and creamery-style products across retail and foodservice applications.
