Sell to a buyer
that processes it here
We buy raw cashew directly from farmers in Ghana, assess it openly, and pay for what it is actually worth.
The nut does not leave the country
Most raw cashew grown in Ghana is bought to be shipped out in sacks. The buyer is often several steps removed from anyone who will ever open the nut, and the price reflects that distance.
We buy because we process. The kernel inside your load is the product we sell, which means the quality of your harvest matters to us directly, and we have a reason to help you improve it rather than simply to buy it cheaply.

Assessed in front of you
The three numbers that set your price are taken while you are standing there, and you see each one.
1. Weighed
On a calibrated scale, with the reading shown to you.
2. Moisture checked
Wet nuts lose weight in storage and can go mouldy, so moisture affects the price.
3. Cut tested
We cut a sample and count how many give a good whole kernel. That is your outturn.

Agronomy guidance
Pruning, spacing and post-harvest handling advice that raises both your yield and your outturn. [Programme to confirm.]
Drying & storage help
Practical guidance on drying and storing so your crop holds its value instead of losing it in the shed.
Reliable payment
[Terms to confirm.] Treated as a commitment, because a harvest is a household’s annual income.
A buyer next season
We are building a network we buy from every year, not a one-off purchase.
Four steps
Get in touch
Call, message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form. Tell us your district and roughly how much you expect to harvest.
We register you
Your name, location and farm details go on our supplier list so we can plan the buying season around real volumes.
Bring a load
Come to a collection point in season. We weigh, check moisture and cut test with you there.
Get paid
Agreed on the numbers you watched us take. [Payment timing to confirm.]
A summary of this page in Twi and Dagbani is planned, so that the terms are clear to every farmer we buy from, not only those who read English comfortably.
Questions farmers ask
How do you decide what my nuts are worth?
Three things: moisture, nut count and the cut test for kernel outturn. We do the cut test with you present and show you the result. The price follows from those numbers rather than from a negotiation about how the crop looks.
What is a cut test?
We take a sample from your load, cut the nuts open and count how many give a good whole kernel. That percentage is the outturn. It is the single biggest factor in what a load is worth, and it is why two sacks that look identical can be worth very different amounts.
How can I get a better price next season?
Mostly by drying properly and storing dry, and by not mixing immature nuts into the load. Nuts that are too wet lose weight and go mouldy; immature nuts fail the cut test. We give practical guidance on both. [Support programme to confirm.]
When do I get paid?
[Payment terms to confirm.] We understand a harvest is a year’s income and we treat payment timing as a commitment, not a convenience.
Do I have to sell you everything?
No. We would rather be the buyer you come back to because the price and the treatment are fair than the buyer you are locked into.
Can a farmer group or cooperative register?
Yes. [Arrangements for groups and cooperatives to confirm.]
