Production Process

01Raw Cashew Nut Cleaning & Size Classification

The process begins with raw cashew nuts in shell, which are first cleaned to remove foreign materials and impurities. The nuts are then sized according to their dimensions. This classification is essential because different sizes require appropriate roasting conditions, helping achieve more uniform processing in the following stages.

02Water Soaking & Hot-Oil Roasting

After sizing, the raw cashews are soaked in water to prepare the nuts for roasting and shelling. They are subsequently processed through hot-oil roasting, a key stage designed to extract cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) and make the shells easier to separate from the kernels. Proper control at this stage helps protect the kernel while facilitating efficient shell removal.

03Shelling & Kernel Drying

The roasted nuts are sized again before entering the shelling stage, where the cashew kernels are separated from the outer shells. The extracted kernels are then dried. Drying serves two important purposes: preparing the kernels for peeling and reducing the risk of insect infestation and fungal growth during subsequent handling and storage.

04Peeling, Grading & Classification

After drying, kernels are peeled to remove the remaining testa (cashew skin), then sorted by color, breakage level, and size. Hai Viet classifies cashews into 26 grades, including WW180, WW210, WW240, WW320, WW450, LBW240, LBW320, SW240, SW320, DW, WB, WS, LP, SP, and BB. Whole kernels are graded by count per pound, from under 180 kernels/lb (WW180) to about 400–450 kernels/lb (WW450).

05Final Cleaning, Inspection & Export Packaging

After grading, kernels are cleaned again to remove dust and impurities, and fumigated to prevent pests. Products are then packed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags inside cartons, typically 11.34 kg or 22.68 kg per bag. A 20-foot container usually holds 700–720 cartons, and quality can be inspected by SGS, Vinacontrol, or Cafecontrol before export.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of hot-oil roasting?

Hot-oil roasting helps extract cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) and makes the cashew shells easier to remove during shelling. This is an important stage in separating the edible kernel from the raw cashew nut shell.

How does Hai Viet protect cashew kernels after processing?

After grading and final cleaning, kernels are packed in vacuumized and sealed plastic bags, which are then placed inside cartons. This packaging system is designed to protect the kernels during storage and international transportation.

What is the standard export packing?

Cashew kernels are normally packed in vacuumized plastic bags with a net weight of 11.34 kg (25 lb) or 22.68 kg (50 lb), followed by carton packaging. Hai Viet states that a standard 20-foot container generally contains 700–720 cartons.
