Tanzanian Cashew Kernels
Expanding categoryWe are building supply relationships for processed Tanzanian cashew kernels. Supply is offered only once a processor is verified; early conversations with buyers are welcome.
Register Your InterestWhy Tanzania
A remarkable origin. A world of opportunity.
Coffee has been grown in Tanzania for well over a century, largely by smallholder farmers. Arabica comes from the volcanic slopes of Kilimanjaro and Meru in the north and from the southern highlands around Mbeya, Songwe and Mbinga. Robusta is grown mainly in Kagera, near Lake Victoria.
Altitude, rainfall and soil vary widely between these regions, which gives buyers a genuine range of profiles to explore. Beyond coffee, Tanzania is also a significant producer of cashew and other agricultural commodities.
How sourcing works
