Chapter 01 · The Company

Planted in Kundapura. Trusted in Tokyo and Rotterdam.

Mangalore Cashew Industries was founded in 1979 by the Kamath family on the Karnataka coast — a region that has processed cashews for over a century.

Today the company employs 1,000 people — 95% of them women from the local community — and ships graded kernels to buyers in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Australia. The same partners who built this business still run it, and the same rigour that earned ISO 22000 and ISO 9001 goes into every lot.

The Pain Point

“You export to Japan and the US — but your buyers find a 2012 website with no way to reach you.”

This is what a buyer-grade site looks like instead.

Chapter 02 · The Grades

Every kernel grade, in one house.

From Jumbo W180 — the confectioner’s favourite — to industrial splits and pieces. Every grade is ISO-traceable, moisture-controlled and vacuum-packed for international shipping.
