Global Demand & Market Trends
Global demand for cashew kernels continues to grow across snack processing, confectionery, bakery inclusions, and the expanding plant-based dairy and nut-butter segment, while raw cashew nut (RCN) flows remain the essential upstream supply that keeps processor output running. Vietnam is one of the world’s principal cashew processing and kernel-export origins, and Cambodia has grown into a significant raw cashew nut producing and exporting country in Southeast Asia, with much of its RCN crop moving to regional processing centres. As a Cambodia cashew nuts exporter and Vietnam cashew kernels exporter — including as a Vietnam cashew nuts supplier W320 position, the most widely traded commercial grade — under one trading relationship, France AJ gives buyers who are asking where to buy cashew nuts wholesale for export a single supply line across both the raw and processed sides of the trade — useful cover when one origin’s crop, logistics or export capacity is under pressure. Cashew pricing is indicative only and moves with the world market; our trade desk issues a current cashew nuts CIF price per metric ton or cashew nuts FOB price per ton position against each RFQ.
What Are Cashew Nuts & Cashew Kernels?
A raw cashew nut (RCN) is the in-shell seed as harvested from the cashew apple, before the shell is steamed, cracked, peeled and graded — the upstream commodity a Cambodia raw cashew nuts supplier relationship is built on, and the input every kernel processor needs. A cashew kernel is the edible nut once removed from the shell, dried and graded by size, colour and condition — the finished product most importers have in mind when they search for a cashew nut supplier or cashew nut kernels wholesale supplier. France AJ supplies both sides of that chain: RCN sourced from Cambodia for processors and traders, and finished kernels sourced from Vietnam processing origins for direct manufacturing and repacking use.

Packaging & Container Loading
Standard kernel export packing is the industry-reference 22.68 kg (50 lb) vacuum-packed tin, two tins per carton, nitrogen-flushed for shelf stability — the pack format behind the cashew kernels vacuum packed 22.68 kg export search — alongside 10–25 kg vacuum bags and customized or private-label packing on request. Raw cashew nuts (RCN) are packed in 50–80 kg jute or polypropylene bags with moisture-control desiccant for container transit. Stored in a cool, dry place below 25°C and 65% relative humidity, shelf life is 12–24 months in original vacuum packing. Minimum order is 1 container upwards for both product forms — the loaded tonnage for a cashew nuts by container load supplier arrangement depends on grade, pack format and destination handling requirements, and is confirmed at quotation stage.
