We are first and foremost a processor of cashew nuts. We go directly to the farmers at origins to procure the highest quality raw cashew nuts for producing the finest quality cashew kernels. Today, 90% of raw cashew we process are procured directly at the farm-gate to ensure the highest quality and complete traceability of the supply chain.
Our Code of Conduct is consistent with the UN’s declaration of Human Rights, International Labour Organisation conventions and Indian National and State Labour Laws. We ensure minimum wastage and minimum impact on planet earth.
