· Buyer checklist
Cashew sourcing: six checks before requesting a quotation
A complete enquiry helps the trade desk compare suitable lots from India, Vietnam and East Africa on the same basis.
- Define the product. State kernels or raw nuts. For kernels, specify the whole, split or piece grade, count range and colour requirements.
- Set the quality limits. Agree moisture, defects and tolerances. For raw nuts, include crop year, nut count, outturn and the testing method.
- Identify the origin. State acceptable origins and whether origin traceability or processor documentation is required.
- Confirm packing and volume. Include pack size, total quantity and whether the requirement is a single shipment or a regular programme.
- Define delivery. Provide the destination, Incoterm and shipment month. Domestic buyers should include their delivery city and currency requirement.
- Agree verification. Record sample approval, inspection responsibilities and required certificates in the written quotation and contract.
Availability and prices are confirmed by the trade desk for a specific buying brief and shipment window.
