WA140 · WA160 · WA180 · WA210 · WA240 · WA320
WA140, WA160, WA180, WA210, WA240 and WA320 are raw cashew kernel grades supplied with the natural testa for buyers who roast, season, peel or further process the kernels in their own market. Le Duong Cashew aligns grade, size, moisture, broken kernels, defects, packing and shipment requirements with the buyer’s processing method and finished-product target.
Testa-on raw kernels require a different buying discussion from white kernels. WA grades are supplied at 8.5% moisture with broken kernels below 1%. A reefer container is required to protect product condition during export transit; warehouse conditions and roasting behaviour should also be reviewed before order confirmation.

Suitable for processors that control roasting, seasoning and final quality in their own facility.
Regional traditional products
The natural testa supports product formats where roasted cashews are sold with the skin retained.

Packing and shipment planning
Because WA testa-on kernels are supplied at 8.5% moisture, a reefer container is required. Buyers should share destination conditions, storage arrangements and expected time to use so packing integrity, temperature management and handling instructions can be addressed in the approved order specification.
Share the required grade, total quantity, packing format and destination port. Our export team will confirm availability, lead time, inspection requirements and document scope before order confirmation.
