Côte d'Ivoire is not simply a large cashew producer — it is the global benchmark. The country's unique combination of climate, agricultural scale and growing processing infrastructure make it the natural source for serious cashew buyers.
Côte d'Ivoire surpassed India as the world's top cashew producer and has held that position since the early 2010s.
A harvest of over 1.5 million tonnes of raw cashew nuts annually — representing roughly a third of global supply.
The country's long cashew belt — stretching from Bondoukou in the north-east down through the centre — produces raw cashew with a naturally high kernel outturn ratio and low moisture content, reducing processing losses and ensuring end-product quality.
A rapidly growing domestic processing sector means an increasing share of Ivorian cashew is shelled and graded in-country, shortening the supply chain and allowing for tighter quality control compared with re-exported RCN processed elsewhere.
Abidjan's modern deep-water port infrastructure supports high container throughput, reliable shipping schedules to Asia and Europe, and competitive freight rates — a practical advantage that translates directly to on-time delivery for our buyers.
As a commodity brokerage physically located in Abidjan, Amberwood Trading is positioned to monitor market conditions, act quickly on supply opportunities, and maintain the supplier relationships that consistent quality depends on.
Whether you have a specific grade and volume in mind or are simply exploring supply options, we welcome enquiries from buyers, importers and food manufacturers worldwide.
