Bulk Cashew Kernels W320 Supplier in Tanzania
W320 is the world's most traded cashew kernel grade — 300 to 320 kernels per pound of whole, white kernels. Agro Farm supplies Tanzanian-origin W320 in export cartons, graded, moisture-controlled and certified for food manufacturers, repackers and distributors.
- Grade: W320 (whole white)
- Count: 300–320/lb
- Moisture: Max 5%
- Packing: 22.68 kg cartons
Product Overview
W320 denotes whole white kernels in the 300–320 per pound size band — the benchmark grade for snack packing, bakery, confectionery and ingredient use. Tanzanian kernels are valued for their clean colour, low breakage and consistent sizing, a direct result of careful shelling and grading.
Our kernels are processed from sound Tanzanian raw nuts, then graded to W320 specification: whole kernels only, white colour, uniform size. Each production lot is checked for moisture, broken content and foreign matter before packing.
Packing follows export convention: 22.68 kg (50 lb) cartons with food-grade inner liners, sealed against moisture ingress. Cartons are palletized where buyers require it, and every shipment carries a certificate of analysis confirming grade and food-safety parameters.
For retail packers and private-label brands, W320 offers the best balance of kernel size, price and consumer recognition — it is the grade shoppers know. We support retail programmes with buyer-printed cartons, consistent grading across shipments and the documentation trail (origin, analysis, health certificates) that supermarket QA departments require before listing.

Quality Assurance
Kernel quality is judged on grade conformity, colour, moisture and food safety. We verify sizing on grading tables, check moisture with calibrated meters, and screen for foreign matter before cartons are sealed.
Microbiological and aflatoxin testing is available through accredited laboratories for buyers with strict food-safety protocols, and third-party inspection can supervise production and loading.

Sourcing Season & Buying Tips
Kernel processing runs year-round, but raw nut economics follow the October–January RCN harvest. The most favourable kernel pricing typically appears in the months after harvest, when raw material is abundant and processors run at full capacity.
If you buy kernels on a programme basis, a quarterly or half-yearly volume agreement locks in grading consistency and priority production slots. We can also split shipments across months to match your inventory cycle — just build the schedule into the contract.
Who Buys Cashew Kernels W320

- Food distributors and wholesalers
Shipping & Logistics
Kernel cartons ship as dry container cargo on the same deep-sea routes as RCN: about 2–3 weeks to the Gulf and India, 3–4 weeks to Southeast Asia, and 4–6 weeks to Europe and North America. Because kernels are a finished food product, we stuff only clean, dry, food-grade containers and can palletize where your warehouse handling requires it. Vessel details and the packing list travel ahead of the cargo so your receiving team is ready.
