Exporter details revealed after verified importer registration
Premium W240 cashew kernels are large, whole white cashews graded 240 kernels per pound under the AFI (Association of Food Industries) grading standard, positioned as a global benchmark grade with strong demand in Japan and the EU. Goa is one of India's established cashew growing and processing centers, alongside Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, and India overall contributes over 25% of global cashew kernel exports. For wholesalers, distributors, food manufacturers, bakeries, and repackers internationally, this means access to consistent, whole-kernel W240 grading with the food safety documentation international buyers require.

W240 sits between the premium W180/W210 gifting and retail-display grades and the higher-volume W320 workhorse grade, offering large, visually appealing whole kernels at a price point more accessible than the biggest sizes. This makes it a strong fit for bakery ingredient use, premium retail packaging, and food manufacturing applications where kernel size and appearance matter but the W180 premium isn't necessary.
Buyers prioritizing cost efficiency for high-volume food manufacturing, cashew butter, or trail mix production often specify W320 or pieces grades (splits, butts, LWP/SWP) instead, since these carry the same nutritional value at 30-50% lower cost. W180 remains the choice for premium gifting and Gulf retail markets specifically. Confirm which grade matches your actual end application before defaulting to W240 across a full order.
Goa is recognized as one of India's core cashew processing centers alongside Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, supporting both domestically grown cashew and processing of imported raw cashew nuts (RCN) into export-grade kernels. Indian processing, including Goa's, is known for producing whiter kernels with higher whole-kernel recovery rates compared to some competing origins, largely attributed to more manual labor in the shelling and grading process.
Traditional vacuum-packed tins (2 per carton, 50 lbs total) standard for bulk export. Nitrogen-flush bags and retail-ready packaging available on request. Commercial packaging arranged per buyer specification, including private label options.
FSSAI license, APEDA registration, Certificate of Analysis including aflatoxin B1/B2/G1/G2 testing per batch, Certificate of Origin, ISO certification, phytosanitary certificate where required by destination country, Kosher and Halal certification available on request.
W240 refers to whole white kernels graded at 240 pieces per pound under the AFI grading standard. It's considered a global benchmark grade, smaller than the premium W180/W210 sizes but larger than the widely traded W320 grade, with strong demand in Japan and the EU.
Reputable processors test every batch for aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2 using ELISA rapid screening followed by HPLC confirmation at accredited labs, with kernels dried below 7% moisture before packing. Request the aflatoxin Certificate of Analysis as standard documentation with your shipment.
W240 suits bakery ingredients, premium retail packaging, and food manufacturing where kernel size matters. High-volume, cost-sensitive applications like cashew butter or trail mix often use W320 or pieces grades instead, at 30-50% lower cost with the same nutritional value.
Reference points run around 1 MT for LCL shipments and 10-18 MT for a 20ft FCL depending on packaging format. Confirm the current minimum for your specific requirement directly.
Shelled cashew kernels, including all W-grades, generally fall under HS code 0801.32 (with 08013220 commonly used). Confirm the exact 8-digit tariff line with your customs broker, since it varies by destination country.
