Freight Forwarding Services for Cashew Nut Exporters in Nigeria
As the global appetite for nutritious, plant-based snacks grows, Nigeria’s cashew industry continues to gain international recognition. With high-quality raw cashew nuts cultivated across states like Kogi, Kwara, Oyo, and Enugu, Nigeria has become a key supplier to markets in India, Vietnam, the UAE, and Europe.

Specialized Freight Forwarding for Cashew Exports
Exporting cashew nuts successfully requires more than just transportation—it demands precision handling, accurate documentation, and logistics planning tailored to the delicate nature of the product. Cargoburg Logistics Limited is Nigeria’s go-to freight partner for agricultural exporters seeking dependable, compliant, and cost-efficient export services.
1. Documentation and Regulatory Compliance
Proper export documentation is critical to avoid delays, customs issues, or rejection at destination ports. As a licensed customs clearing agent in Nigeria, Cargoburg handles all documentation and compliance requirements for cashew exporters, including:
Form NXP registration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
Phytosanitary certificates for raw cashew nuts
Certificate of origin issued by NEPC
Packing list, commercial invoices, and bill of lading
Fumigation certificates and pre-shipment inspection coordination
We work closely with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), and the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) to fast-track processing and ensure all shipments comply with international trade regulations.
2. Product Packaging and Handling
Cashew nuts require special care in handling and packaging to preserve quality during transit. At Cargoburg, we provide guidance on proper export packaging that meets the standards of international buyers:
Use of double-layered jute or polypropylene bags
Ensuring moisture content compliance (below 10%)
Vacuum-sealing options for processed cashew exports
Palletizing, shrink-wrapping, and container stuffing
Our logistics team ensures each bag is correctly labeled with batch numbers, grade information, and exporter details—crucial for traceability and buyer compliance.
3. Sea and Air Freight Solutions
Depending on your buyer location and urgency, Cargoburg offers flexible sea and air freight options for cashew nut shipments:
Sea Freight
We ship large volumes of raw cashew nuts via sea freight to international markets including:
India – the world’s largest cashew processor
Vietnam – a major global importer
United Arab Emirates – regional trade hub
Netherlands, Germany, and UK – top European destinations
We provide Full Container Load (FCL) and Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipping services, managing bookings with leading global carriers and ensuring container space availability during peak export seasons.
Air Freight
For processed cashew nuts or smaller, premium consignments, we offer fast and secure air freight from Lagos and Port Harcourt international airports. Air shipping is ideal for urgent deliveries, trade exhibitions, or fulfilling high-value orders with tight deadlines.
Our air freight service includes customs pre-clearance, export inspection, and end-to-end tracking from warehouse to airport terminal.
4. Warehousing and Inventory Control
Cargoburg operates secure and strategically located warehouses in Lagos, Warri, Onne, and Port Harcourt, where exporters can store cashew nuts before shipment. Our warehousing services include:
Dry and ventilated storage environments
Batch separation and lot control
Pest management and fumigation
Container stuffing and pre-loading inspections
Exporters benefit from flexible storage options that allow consolidation of produce from multiple farmers or cooperatives before shipping to overseas buyers.
5. Inland Haulage and Farm-to-Port Transportation
Getting cashew nuts from production zones in Kogi, Kwara, Benue, Oyo, and Ebonyi to ports can be a logistical challenge—especially during the harvest season. Cargoburg offers farm-to-port haulage using a fleet of roadworthy, GPS-tracked trucks equipped for agricultural cargo.
We coordinate pickup from processing centers, aggregation warehouses, or directly from farms, ensuring timely delivery to export terminals. Our haulage services are priced competitively, and we optimize routing to reduce delays and costs.
