ALL ABOUT CASHEW NUTS IN NIGERIA
The history of cashew in Nigeria dated back to 15th century. Then, it was mainly used in afforestation schemes for the control of erosion in the former Eastern Nigeria.

However, the commercial cashew plantations started in Nigeria in the early 1950s with the establishment of first commercial plantations at Oghe, Oji and Mbala by the defunct Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation (ENDC) and Iwo, Eruwa and Upper Ogun by the defunct Western Nigeria Development Corporation (WNDC).

From these locations, the planting of the crop spread to other parts of Nigeria particularly the Central and Northern States of Nigeria. Research on cashew production and its uses started at the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), Ibadan in 1971.

The introduction of Brazilian cashew biotype with improved and desirable nut and kernel quality characteristics by CRIN has further increased the crops spread and popularity in Nigeria.

The commodity of commercial importance is the nut, which contains 47% fat, 21% protein and 22% carbohydrate.

It also contains vitamins, especially thiamine. Cashew nut proteins are complete, having all the essential amino acids and a kilogramme of the nut yields about 6000 calories compared to 3600 calories from cereals, 1800 calories from meat and 650 calories from fresh citrus fruit.

Because of these qualities, the nuts are in great demand and at Foraminifera Market Research we seek to expose the investment opportunity available in the export of the commodity through this report.

Worldwide, trade in cashews exceeds US$2 billion and demand is increasing. Of the total world supply, 110 000 tonnes are traded on international markets. There is great investment opportunity for the processing and export of the commodity in Nigeria.

There is an urgent need for the injection of more funds by the Government into the Nigerian cashew processing sector in order to add value to the products such that processed kernels are exported. The Nigerian cashew nuts are of high quality and its processed kernels have wide acceptability in European and American markets.

The return on investment on the export of raw cashew nuts is estimated between 10%- 15%.The history of cashew in Nigeria dated back to 15th century. Then, it was mainly used in afforestation schemes for the control of erosion in the former Eastern Nigeria.

EXPORTATION OF CASHEW NUT FROM NIGERIA
Nigeria is one of the top ten producers of cashew in the world. Cashew is a smallholder crop and supplements the incomes of thousands of farmers across 18 states of the federation. By far, the U.S is the largest buyer of cashew kernels followed by the Netherlands.
THE National Cashew Association of Nigeria, NCAN, once said, Nigeria earned N144.7 billion ($402 million) from the export of raw cashewnuts to Vietnam and other countries in 2017.

However, with the potential comes the need for a good understanding on how the industry works. Cashew is a perennial crop that grows seasonally.

suppliers of cashew nut in Nigeria
Cashew nuts have significantly contributed to Nigeria’s revenue generation. Due to cashew nuts high nutritional value, demand currently outweighs supply. Currently Nigeria is unable to meet up export demands, i.e. The global demand for cashew. Hence, cashew value chain currently engages a lot of participants among farmers. This is therefore good news for investors. However, to benefit from this, knowledge is key. Starting cashew nut exportation business in Nigeria requires the right knowledge.
Below shows all the steps and processes involved in cashew nut export.

CASHEW FARMING
the best dealers in cashew nut export
It is expedient to note that not everyone wishing to start cashew nut exportation business needs to grow a cashew plantation farm. However, starting a cashew nut farm is serious work which would reward you financially in the long term. Starting a cashew plantation requires a lot of time (usually several years) before it starts producing cashew. It all begins with making a nursery where the seeds grow to young trees and later transplanting them to their permanent location, a gradual process of growth commences. These trees are taken care of until they are mature to grow without watering.

HOW TO START CASHEW NUT BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

CHOOSING THE END PRODUCT FOR EXPORT

Raw cashew nuts and cashew nut shell liquid are the two main products that have a great demand in international market. There are other two cashew products namely cashew kennels and cashew apples. Cashew kennels are also sold in world market; the USA is the leading consumer of it.
Starting an exportation business requires you to decide the end product you would make the most impact on. Cashew nut business has an attractive value chain where you can focus your attention on. You may want to process your cashew nuts before selling, or just selling them directly. Whatever the case, knowing the right strategy that will yield the highest financial reward is important. Processing these nuts significantly increases the market value.

SEEK INVESTMENT GUIDANCE
To start well, it is important to get guidance from the right sources. The Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) Ibadan, is a good place to start from. By doing this, you will have significantly lowered the chances of failure in your intended business. CRIN has carried out a lot of research in this regard; hence, it is the right body to approach. an important aspect of the research conducted by CRIN is that you get to know the sources of demand (both domestic and foreign). This makes exporting of these cashew nuts easier.

SOURCE FOR PRODUCT FROM WHOLESALERS/FARMERS.
In Nigeria, due to high demand of cashew nut in the international market, a lot of farmers are currently engaged in cashew nut plantation. Before you can start the exportation of this product, you need to source for these the products from farmers all over Nigeria. To make work easier for you, you can visit some of the research institute such as Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria CRIN and National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN). These bodies and their representative are well informed about the sources of these products and the states where interested investors can get cashew fruit in large quantity.


REGISTER YOUR BUSINESS
Registration of a product gives identity to the products and the company making the products. It also protects the adulteration or imitation of the product. So while starting the business of cashew processing, you will need a number of registrations as well as licenses from Government and its agencies, both at the national and state levels. However, registration depends on your scale of operation (scale of operation will be further explained below). Gaining official approval enables the business to function at a much bigger capacity. Registered agro-allied businesses stand to benefit from a lot of incentives. You may want to take this serious as a new start-up will require all the breaks it can get to enable it stabilize. Domestic and foreign supply requires you to have a license obtained through registration. The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), National Agency for Food, Drugs and Control Agencies (NAFDAC) are examples.

SEEK MARKET PROSPECTS
There is no business without patronage and potential customers for it. All over the world the demand for the cashew nut is speedily growing. Many countries of the world indulge in consuming, processing, producing and exporting of cashew nuts. It’s one of the major agricultural products that is imported and exported in many countries.
You may need to make a personal research and outsource for customers in different countries of the world. Note that the major export destination of raw cashews from West Africa is India and Vietnam, which are two most significant importers of raw cashews and biggest exporters of shelled cashew. Therefore, you may find cashew nuts buyers in Vietnam. These days, there are many online platforms with a huge database of product real-time market trends and profiles of suppliers and buyers. Using online platforms can be of great help.


SCALE OF OPERATION
Your scale of operation in exportation is dependent on your financial strength. First consider your financial strength and pattern your business according to available resources. Failure to do this could make your business fall on hard times (financially) in the nearest future. Having an under-funded business is not what you should wish for as it has the ability to cripple you business.

HOW TO PROCESS CASHEW NUT IN NIGERIA.

According to the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Mr Audu Ogbeh, the current worth of a tonne of roasted or processed cashew nut for export is $10,000 while the raw cashew nut is sold for $1,200 at the international market. This calls for exporters in Nigeria to focus more on the export of processed cashew nut rather than exporting raw cashew nut.
You will find below alittle guide on how cashew nut processing is done in countries like india.

The raw cashew nuts are procured from the local farmers and local market. These cashew nuts are dried in the sun for a period of two days and are then stored in the gunny bags for processing through the year. The process of sun drying helps in removal of excess moisture thus resulting in longer storage. The processing of cashew nut is a four stage process, each designed to produce quality edible cashew kernel.

Steam Roasting
The outer shell of the raw cashew nuts has to be removed to produce the edible cashew kernel. The outer shell of the cashew is very hard and it contains a corrosive oil which is harmful for human consumption. The process of steam roasting helps in removal of this hard shell with minimal effort. The raw cashew nuts are put in a drum connected to a mini boiler. The steam from this mini boiler is passed over the cashew nuts placed in the drum for a period of 10 -15 minutes. These cashew nuts are left in the drum for 20 minuets for proper roasting. The roasted cashew nuts are then taken out of the drum and placed in the open air for a period of around 12 hours to let them cool down and help in removal of the cashew shells.

Shell Cutting
The roasted cashew nuts are then taken to the cutting department to remove the outer shell. This is a complex process and requires highly skilled labor to get maximum unbroken kernel output. This process required each cashew nut to be individually placed between blades of the machine operated manually to remove the outer shell. This process results in production of cashew kernel with soft inner shell. These nuts are then placed in a oven which is constantly maintained at a temperature of about 60 degrees for a period of 24 hours to make the inner shell brittle.

Peeling
The inner shell of the kernel has to be removed to produce the white nuts. The peeling process is designed to remove this inner soft shell after the kernel is removed from the oven. The kernel is used for peeling after it is left in the open for a period of 12 hours. This cooling helps in peeling process. Each nut is individually peeled to get white nuts. These white nuts are then sent to the grading department.

Grading
The process of grading is designed to sort the white cashew kernel into different grades. The white kernel is divided into two main types, wholes and pieces. The wholes are further divided into 15 grades and the pieces are divided into 9 main grades. The process of sorting wholes and the pieces is based on the size, color and texture of the nuts. The sorting is done based on the set international sizes. These nuts are then once again placed in the oven to make the nuts crispier before they are sent to the packaging department.

Packing
The cashew kernel are packed into plastic bags of different sized for sale in local market and in tins of 10kgs for sending to other markets.

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR SEXUAL PERFORMANCE
One of the great health benefit of eating cashew fruit is that it helps improve sexual performance during sexual intercourse.
Generally nutritionists have recommended the consumption of cashew fruit juice for enhanced sexual activities, including energy boost in males and females during intercourse.
Cashew juice helps in the prevention of heart diseases and stroke. It contains fats that promote healthy hearts, and reduce high triglyceride level that is associated with increased risk of heart diseases.
Excess calories are stored as triglycerides in the body. Triglycerides provide much of the energy for proper cell function. Eating a handful of cashew nuts a day would provide enough essential minerals like manganese, potassium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium for deficiency disease prevention. Most of these compounds can be lost when a man ejaculates during sexual intercourse, but chewing cashew fruit or cash nut can help restore them.
The cashew fruit juice is now popping up in herbal formulas designed to boost energy and sexual function; it also helps to promote normal sleep patterns in menopausal women. Cashew fruit is also known as “MAN POWER”, because it contains high copper content that is vital in energy production (a key factor in sexual intercourse), greater flexibility in blood vessels, bones and joints and also high in calories. It’s rich in many essential vitamins that help to maintain healthy gums, teeth and numerous health promoting phytochemicals that protect one from diseases and cancers.
Cashew fruits provides anti-oxidant and protective ultra-violet ray filtering functions that can help prevent age-related macular degeneration in the elderly. Eating cashew nuts could help the body to utilize iron, develop bones, produce skin with hair pigment and eliminate free radicals.
Consuming it frequently could be helpful in the management of sore throats and strengthen immune systems.
Cashew nuts are nourishing snacks with no cholesterol, but contained high fiber that were ideal for body building for weight-watch when eaten in moderation.
However, cashew fruits and nuts should be eaten moderately to enhance its effectiveness in strengthening the immune system for healthy life.
