aaronson:
I'm sure if God truly exist, he wouldn't have approved of this belligerent words of Oyedepo, Not to mention how Jesus was manhandled, trialed and crucified but he never cursed anybody and even prayed for their forgiveness so, if Oyedepo was going by the scriptures he just deviated by being belligerent and petty. Only an ignorant man on the street acts this way but your know the funniest part right now.

All his followers worldwide would applaud to this foolishness by Oyedepo and say God is using him.


Ignorance is bliss.

RAW CASHEW NUT - Quality Specification
Just like most agric commodities, Cashew nuts meant for export must be well died and free from impurities and unwanted matters.
Quality Specifications is one of the most important items on export sales contract because this is what determines how much the buyer is going pay for your product.
The following are the parameters used to measure raw cashew nut quality.

Nut Counts
Simply put, Nut Count is the number of nut in 1kg of Cashew nut. It ranges from 170 to 230 counts, 170 being the best quality while 230 is poor quality.
170 ……………….. ………..EXCELLENT
180 – 190 ……………….. VERY GOOD
190 – 200 ……………….. GOOD
200 – 210 ……………….. AVERAGE
210 – 220 ………………. BELOW AVERAGE
230 AND ABOVE ………………. POOR
It is worthy to note that most foreign buyers prefer between 170 and 200 nut counts.
In Nigeria, the nut count per 1kg sample varies from zone to zone. While zones like Ogbomosho has between 170 and 185, others zones falls between 190 and 230. Ogbomosho is known to have the best quality and a lot of buyer prefers Cashew nuts from this location.

Kernel Output Ratio (KOR)/Out-turn
It is the quality of good nut (as there would always be defective ones) from 80kg of raw cashew nuts. It means a number of usable kernels after de-shelling the nuts. Out-turn is measured in lbs quality in terms of one bag of 80 kg of raw cashew nuts.
In general,
An excellent out turn is 48 – 53 lbs.
A good out-turn is 43 – 48 lbs.
Less than 43 lbs is a poor grade and are usually rejected.

Moisture
Most export contract would state that moisture content should be maximum of 10%. So, exporters must ensure the product is well dried before bagging and loading for shipment.

Defective Nuts
Defective nuts are the ones that are diseased as a result of fungi infection which is seen in form of black or brown spot when the kernel is split. This is cause by high moisture in the nut due to improper drying and improper storage.
The percentage of defective nut acceptable by most foreign buyers is between 8 and 10% max.

Foreign Matters
These are unwanted matters like broken sticks, leaves sand, stack etc. The maximum amount of foreign matter allowed by most buyers is 10%.
NB: These parameters are what any intending exporter should consider before buyer raw cashew nut from any of the locations in Nigeria.
