The Company

Cashew is a grading discipline. We treat it like one.

Viknesh Cashew is a cashew processing and trading company built around a simple conviction: the market rewards whoever controls the kernel from shell to sale. We procure raw cashew directly from grower networks, run our own cleaning, grading and packing lines, and ship out product that's sorted to spec — not to convenience.

Vision

To be the most trusted name in graded cashew kernels across Indian retail, institutional and export markets.

Mission

Source direct from growers, process under controlled conditions, and deliver consistent grading — without unnecessary intermediaries.

How it moves

From orchard to sealed pack

A controlled chain with seven checkpoints — every kernel earns its grade.

01

Grower Procurement

Raw cashew sourced directly from farmer networks across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Other Countries .

02

Raw Storage

Incoming raw cashew is bagged and stored in our warehouse until it moves to the steaming line.

03

Steaming

Raw cashew is steamed in our dedicated steaming unit to soften the shell before it's cracked open.

04

Shelling

Steamed cashew is cracked open by hand-operated shelling machines to release the kernel from the shell.

05

Dry & Peel

Kernels air-dried and the testa removed by hand — no roasting, no additives, pure kernel only.

06

Grading & Sorting

Kernels sorted by whole-count and colour class on our own grading line — W180 through BB.

07

Pack & Dispatch

Vacuum and bulk packing to buyer spec, dispatched to B2B, retail and export partners.
