Between 2000 and 2018, world trade in unshelled cashews more than doubled to 2.1 billion kg, Africa contributed almost two-thirds of the growth, but African farmers and exporters receive only a fraction of the final retail price. This is because the process of shelling significantly increases the market values of cashews, while less than 15% of cashews are shelled in Africa due to the lack of processing technology and capacity.
Sorting machines, as an important segment in the cashew process, are used to remove discolored kernels, broken kernels, rotten kernels, and other foreign materials. As pictured above, this Kenya's Cashew factory introduced 2 brand-new Meyer Belt Color Sorters, and they are planning to purchase more pieces of Meyer equipment to meet the increasing demand.
In the future, with more types of advanced cashew processing equipment including sorting machines entering Africa, more cashews will be shelled and processed locally and the income of local people will get improved.
In recent years, more and more Meyer color sorters enter African nut processing factories. We look forward to seeing the development of the African nut processing industry and the improvement of local people's living standards.
Meyer, your assured choice.
