In global cashew trade, product quality is defined not only by grade, but by moisture stability, kernel color consistency, and breakage control throughout the supply chain.
For international buyers, these three factors directly affect shelf life, retail acceptance, and final profitability.
At SVC, strict technical controls are applied across processing, packing, and logistics to ensure every export shipment meets buyer specifications and international standards.
💧 1. Moisture Control – Protecting Shelf Life
Moisture is one of the most critical parameters in cashew exports.
At SVC:
- Raw kernels are monitored from intake to final packing
- Controlled drying systems stabilize moisture within buyer-required ranges
- Moisture is checked at multiple checkpoints during production
- Desiccant systems and sealed packaging are used for long-distance shipping
Consistent moisture control helps prevent mold risk, texture loss, and flavor degradation during transit.
🎨 2. Color Sorting & Visual Uniformity
Kernel color plays a major role in grading and retail acceptance.
SVC applies:
- Optical color sorting technology
- Manual re-checks for premium grades (WW180, WW210, WW240)
- Strict separation of scorched and discolored kernels
- Batch-level documentation for color consistency
This ensures uniform appearance across cartons and minimizes buyer claims.
🔍 3. Breakage Control Across Processing Stages
Kernel breakage directly affects yield and pricing.
To reduce breakage, SVC focuses on:
- Controlled shelling pressure
- Optimized peeling and grading lines
- Gentle handling during transfer points
- Customized packing methods based on kernel size
Breakage ratios are monitored continuously and aligned with AFI standards and buyer contracts.
🏠4. Integrated QC From Processing to Packing
Quality control at SVC is applied as a system, not a single step.
QC includes:
- In-process inspection reports
- X-ray and metal detection
- Final weight and count verification
- Carton integrity checks before palletization
Each shipment is traceable from production batch to container loading.
📦 5. Packaging & Container Loading Safeguards
Packaging and logistics play a key role in maintaining quality.
SVC ensures:
- Proper carton stacking and pallet stability
- Container inspection before loading
- Moisture barrier materials for sea freight
- Standardized loading patterns to minimize vibration damage
These measures help preserve kernel integrity during long transit routes to the US, EU, and Asia.
🌍 6. Why Buyers Prioritize Controlled Shipments
International buyers increasingly demand:
- Stable moisture and appearance
- Low breakage rates
- Documented QC processes
- Reliable, repeatable results
SVC’s technical controls provide confidence for long-term supply programs and private-label partnerships.
đź“Ś Conclusion
Moisture stability, color consistency, and breakage control are not optional—they are essential to successful cashew exports.
By applying strict technical standards across processing and logistics, SVC ensures that every shipment meets global buyer expectations and maintains Vietnam’s reputation for quality.
