What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQ starts at 1 × 20' FCL, approximately 13–14 metric tons for cashew kernels. Trial quantities may be discussed for new partnerships.

Which cashew grades does HotaNuts supply?

We supply W240 (220–240 kernels/lb), W320 (300–320 kernels/lb), and W450 (400–450 kernels/lb) as standard grades. Broken grades (WB, WS, LWP, SWP) and scorched grades are available on request.

Where does HotaNuts source its raw cashew?

We source raw cashew nuts (RCN) from Vietnam's key provinces — Binh Phuoc, Dak Nong, and Tay Ninh — and supplement supply from Cambodia and Côte d'Ivoire when needed. This multi-origin approach ensures year-round availability.

What is the typical lead time?

During peak season (Feb–Jun): 30–40 days from order confirmation to FOB. Off-season (Jul–Jan): allow 60–90 days. Pre-shipment sample review adds 5–10 business days before production starts.

How does HotaNuts ensure quality before shipment?

Our QC team inspects finished kernels at the processing facility before loading. We provide a pre-shipment inspection report with photos. Production does not proceed until the buyer confirms the sample meets their specification.

Can you handle custom grades, packaging, and private label orders?

Yes. We work with buyers to confirm product specifications, grade, volume, delivery schedule, and packaging format — including private label and OEM options.

Why HotaNuts

What we do that most Vietnam exporters don't

On-Site QC — Not a Desk Certificate

Our QC Manager inspects raw cashew intake and finished kernels at the processing facility before loading. You receive a pre-shipment report with real photos — not a certificate signed remotely.

Five Origins, No Supply Gap

Vietnam (Feb–Jun) · Cambodia (Mar–Apr) · Indonesia (Apr–Aug) · West Africa (Feb–Jul) · Tanzania + Mozambique (Nov–Jan). When one origin faces crop pressure or price spikes, we shift to another — your supply stays uninterrupted all year.
