For international wholesale traders and food manufacturing plants, importing bulk cashew nuts from Vietnam is a highly lucrative business. However, long-transit maritime shipping poses a major threat: quality degradation. Issues like rancidity, mold growth, and high breakage can quickly destroy your profit margins.
As a premier international export specialist, CTC Internimex shares the industry-standard protocols for moisture control and packaging to ensure your bulk cargo arrives in pristine condition.
1. The Battle Against Moisture: Preventing Mold & Rancidity
Cashew kernels are rich in natural oils, making them highly sensitive to humidity. If moisture levels spike during shipping, you risk cargo rejection due to mold or free fatty acid (FFA) elevation, which causes a bitter, rancid taste.
The Gold Standard: The moisture content of the cashew kernels must be strictly maintained at max 5% before loading.
Our Supply Chain Solution: As a specialized trading company, CTC Internimex strictly audits and selects only top-tier processing facilities equipped with climate-controlled drying systems. We mandate rigorous pre-shipment testing to lock in the ideal moisture level and enforce the use of heavy-duty container desiccants to completely eliminate “container rain” during ocean transit.
2. Advanced Packaging: Fighting Oxidation and Breakage
How do you stop whole cashews (like W240 or W320) from breaking or spoiling during a 30-day sea voyage? The secret lies in protective, commercial-grade packaging.
At CTC Internimex, we manage and supervise the packaging process strictly according to global export standards:
Vacuum Packing with Gas Flushing: We ensure cashews are sealed in multi-layer flexible bags where air is extracted and replaced with an inert gas flush ($CO_2$ or $N_2$). This eliminates oxygen, preventing rancidity and preserving the crispy texture.
Tin Can Packaging: For maximum protection against physical crushing, we can source and arrange packaging in 10-kg or 22.68-kg (50 lbs) tin cans for high-end retail grades.
Heavy-Duty Cartons: We require double-walled outer cartons to prevent stacking damage inside the Full Container Load (FCL).
