The mistakes that quietly cost you the most.
None of these show up on a price list. They show up after you've already paid.
You don't know if the KOR report is real. Fake or inflated lab reports are common at origin. Without knowing what to check, you pay premium price for a lower grade — and only find out when your own buyer complains.
Your container sits at port for weeks. One missed document or wrong stamp, and your cashew sits exposed at port while demurrage fees quietly eat your margin.
You're paying the "small buyer" price. Without leverage or the right contacts at origin, you get whatever price and lot is left over — never the best.
One bad season and you're out. A single mistake with the wrong supplier is enough to wipe out a year's margin, and the confidence to try again.
Everything you need before you place your first real order.

Real lots. Real ports. Real tonnage.
Export-grade raw cashew, sourced and loaded at origin in Benin and Guinea-Bissau.
Written by someone who lives this market.
This playbook is built on nearly a decade at origin, in Benin and Guinea-Bissau — through seasons where prices doubled overnight, ports where containers slept outside for weeks, and the difference between suppliers who deliver premium lots and the ones who vanish.
Over 10,000 tonnes negotiated. Everything in this book is what that experience actually taught — not theory, not a template pulled from the internet.
This market rewards buyers who move with scale and knowledge — and punishes those who enter small and blind.— Charbel ADEKAMBI, CEO · AFRINUTS INTERNATIONAL
