Raw Cashew Nuts

Since 2015, after a series of survey trips across Africa visiting raw-cashew sourcing areas — Tanzania (Mtwara, Tandahimba), Côte d'Ivoire (Bouaké, Bondoukou), Nigeria (Kogi, Ogbomoso, Enugu) and Benin (Cotonou) — HotaNuts has accumulated more than 10 years of experience in the raw-cashew trade. We work with a curated set of suppliers chosen for reputation, financial strength and consistent quality.

In 2024, despite raw prices swinging up 40–50%, HotaNuts delivered: 97% of orders shipped on time to Vietnamese buyers, with 90% of contract quality specifications met. The suppliers we transact with are recognised across the market.

HotaNuts guarantees 100% deposit protection for buyers. When quality discrepancies or delivery timing changes occur, we step in alongside both buyer and seller to negotiate the order in good faith and cooperative spirit.

Beyond trading, HotaNuts provides a representation service for claims and contract disputes — supporting Vietnamese importers when shipments encounter quality or delivery issues.
