Thirty years of cashew
from Kollam, Kerala.
Star Export House supplying premium cashew kernels — W180 through W500, splits and RCN — to buyers in the Gulf, EU and US since 1995.
Built from the ground up in India's cashew capital.
In 1995 P. Somarajan founded Kailas Cashew Exports in Kollam — the district that processes more cashew than anywhere else in India. Thirty years later, the Ministry of Commerce has recognised us as a Star Export House.
Kollam's advantage is direct access to raw cashew from Kerala and West Africa, a deep processing infrastructure, and a port corridor that puts Cochin within reach. We buy the right raw material, process to CEPC and Codex standards, and ship packed-to-spec to buyers in the Gulf, Europe and beyond.
“Single origin, sorted to grade — every kernel inspected before it ships.”
A cashew house, first.
Whole white kernels are our core — sorted by count grade, from large W180 to volume W500. Around them sit splits, pieces, RCN and private-label packing. Every lot is CEPC-verified and traceable.
Star Export House standards on every shipment.
Our primary concern is the integrity of the product and the safety of our buyers. Every lot is graded to CEPC and Codex Alimentarius standards, moisture-controlled and packed to destination-market specification.
Sample to shipping documents in four moves.
Built around how Gulf and EU buyers actually order — pro-forma upfront, CEPC grade analysis with the lot, FOB Cochin or CIF on request.
Eight country buyers. Three regulatory regimes.
The Gulf takes the largest share of every season's output. Europe and the US handle remaining volume through food-service and retail importers.
Real hands. Real process.
