Supermarkets and retail groups
Own-label whole kernel programmes with fixed specifications, agreed shipment calendars and lot-level traceability back to origin.
Wholesale cashew kernels, direct from origin.
Container-load supply of W240, W320, W450, splits and pieces, processed in Guinea-Bissau and shipped from the Port of Bissau to Europe, the Gulf, North America and West Africa.
Bulk supply
One origin, one processing line, and a specification that holds from the first shipment to the eleventh.
Bissau Kernel Co. buys raw cashew nuts in Guinea-Bissau, shells and grades them in our own facility in the Bissau facility, and exports the finished kernel. There is no intermediate trading layer between the farm gate and the container, which is what allows us to answer questions about a lot rather than pass them along a chain.
For a buyer, that shows up in three practical places. Specification consistency, because the same line grades every lot against the same tolerances. Documentation, because certificates, lot codes and origin paperwork are produced where the kernel is produced. And shipment reliability, because we control the schedule from intake to port rather than relying on a third-party sheller.
We work on annual and multi-shipment contracts as well as single container loads. Most conversations begin with a sample and a trial container, and move to a programme once your quality team is satisfied.
