SAFE CASHEW
TRACEABILITY
Our ownership or active presence in every stage of the cashew value chain enables us to develop transparent sourcing networks with full case-level traceability to the raw cashew source.
We offer case-level traceability for our cashew products showing the complete movement along the entire value chain. It is our passion to provide fully traceable cashew nuts to our customers who appreciate knowing where the cashews came from and that their purchase genuinely made a difference to the farmer and his family in the producing origin. We enable our customers to trace our cashew nuts along the value chain back to the farmer through one of the most comprehensive traceability system.
Why traceability matters?
Traceability enables corrective actions such as a product recall to be implemented quickly and effectively when something goes wrong. When a potential food safety problem is identified, whether, by a food business or a government agency, an effective traceability system can help isolate and prevent contaminated products from reaching consumers. Traceability allows food businesses to target the products affected by a food safety problem, minimising disruption to trade and any potential public health risks. It is essential for all food businesses, including retailers and importers, to be able to trace products.
Demand for origin and processing assurances are increasing worldwide from responsible customers who want to ensure that cashews have been procured and processed sustainably. As customer and consumer drive up demand for a transparent supply chain, technological developments backed by our passion for opening up our supply chain to our customers is creating new opportunities in comprehensive supply chain traceability.
We are continually working with our prime customers and are bringing them on board to improve our traceability initiatives and to work with other stakeholders on tracing even more data points, enabling our customers to visualise the entire journey of cashew from farm to factory. We keep cashews safe from farm-gate to factory gate by ensuring traceability at every step of the value chain.
“Our proprietary Cashew Traceability System has been developed in-house using a hybrid of exemplary traceability frameworks and enables us to trace over 70 Key Data Elements across 10 Critical Tracking Events. ”
