Slide 1 — Cover
Hook (visual: factory exterior wide shot, sunrise lighting):
Most cashew buyers see the kernel — never the line.
Eight frames from our processing partner facility in Bình Phước, Vietnam.
Real. Unstaged. With consent.Hotanuts Co. Ltd. — our processing partner.
Slide 2 — Raw cashew nut intake
Visual: RCN delivery, sample being drawn:
Frame 1 · Raw cashew nut intake.
Every delivery from farm partner sampled at the truck gate.
Moisture check, foreign matter check, origin documentation logged.
Below moisture threshold goes to staging. Above goes back to drying.
Slide 3 — Steam conditioning
Visual: steam tunnel, raw nuts moving through:
Frame 2 · Steam conditioning.
Pre-cracking heat treatment to loosen shell from kernel.
Also creates an internal heat exposure that suppresses some fungal activity.
Temperature and dwell time are monitored, not estimated.
Slide 4 — Cracking line
Visual: cracking line operators, partial close-up:
Frame 3 · Cracking.
Mechanical cracking with manual cross-check at the line edge.
Skilled operators identify shell fragments the machinery may have missed.
Yield ratio tracked per shift, per origin batch.
Slide 5 — Drying tunnel
Visual: drying tunnel with kernels on belt:
Frame 4 · Drying.
Controlled-environment drying brings kernel moisture below 5%.
Below 5% is the threshold for safe storage and aflatoxin risk management.
Sampling at exit confirms each batch hit target before grading.
Slide 6 — Quality control
Visual: QC bench, sample being inspected:
Frame 5 · QC station.
Visual sort for grade and defect.
Foreign matter check by hand, by metal detector, by X-ray.
Lot sampling for the lab — aflatoxin ELISA, microbiological panel, pesticide residue.
Slide 7 — Packing
Visual: vacuum packing line, kernels filling bags:
Frame 6 · Packing.
Vacuum, nitrogen flush, or jumbo bag — depends on buyer spec.
Lot code on every unit, traceable forward and backward.
Shelf life extends with the right packaging for the right destination.
Slide 8 — Loading dock and CTA
Visual: FCL loading, container doors open:
Frame 7 · Container loading. Frame 8 · Documentation handoff.
Full container load (FCL), commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate.
Plot-level traceability documentation per lot, retained on file.Want to see this in motion? Book a live video tour. We respond within one business day.

Caption (LinkedIn body, ~150 words)
Eight frames from inside our processing partner's facility in Bình Phước.
Why we post these: most cashew buyers go three to six rounds of email and sample before they ever see the line their product moves through. That gap is not necessary. A live video tour costs an hour and answers more questions than any spec sheet.
What you're looking at:
- One processing partner. HACCP and BRC v9 certified.
- Per-lot traceability from raw cashew nut origin through to packed shipment.
- Lab sampling at multiple line stages, not just at exit.
- Documentation retained per lot, available under NDA at RFQ.
If your Q3 or Q4 sourcing decision is still open, this is what factory-direct looks like from the SME buyer side. DM to scope a video tour.
