Grading cashew kernels by size, colour and quality is a crucial step in modern processing. It ensures consistent batch appearance and flavour, helping processors meet export standards and command higher prices—some grades can sell for 20-30% more. Automated grading systems using vibrating sieves, sensors and airflow offer speed, precision and lower labour costs compared to manual sorting. Proper grading also supports brand trust, export compliance and maximises usage by separating whole nuts, splits and pieces for different markets. For more details, click the link below.
