About CTIMEX
A Vietnamese cashew processor and exporter, built on trust, quality and long-term partnerships.
CTIMEX Vietnam Company Limited
CTIMEX processes and exports cashew kernels and other nut products from Vietnam. Our head office is in Ho Chi Minh City and our factory is in Long Ha Commune, Dong Nai City, which now includes the former Binh Phuoc province, the centre of Vietnam's cashew growing.
Our team has worked in the cashew trade for more than ten years. We combine raw nut sourcing, processing and quality control in one company, so buyers deal with the people who make the product.
We build long-term partnerships on trust, quality and commitment. That idea is in our name for every market we serve: Value Without Borders.
Our earlier company website is also run by CTIMEX: vietnamcashewnuts.com
Deliver consistent quality
Every lot is graded and checked before it is packed, so the grade on the carton is the grade in the bag.
Reliable supply
We plan raw nut purchasing ahead of the season to keep contracts on schedule.
Partnerships that last
Clear specifications, honest communication and documents that arrive on time.

A look around the factory
White cashew kernel processing
Thirteen steps from the raw cashew nut to X-ray checked, packed white kernels.
- 01Raw nut sourcingRCN bought in Vietnam and imported; moisture and kernel outturn (KOR) checked
- 02Drying raw nutsSun or air dried to 8–10% moisture
- 03Storage & pre-gradingScreened for foreign matter and sized
- 04Steaming20–50 min at 100–120 °C so the shell cuts cleanly and less shell oil reaches the kernel
- 05Cooling & conditioningRested 12–24 h so the hard shell cuts cleanly
- 06ShellingCutting machines (A, B, C heads) and shell separators; kernels come out with skin on
- 07Kernel drying60–80 °C dryer for 9–13 h; moisture down to 3–5%
- 08HumidificationKernels regain a little moisture so the skin loosens and kernels do not break
- 09PeelingPeeled by hand; all skin removed → white kernels
- 10GradingSize grader, then hand grading by colour and wholeness
- 11X-ray inspectionX-ray machine removes stones, metal, glass and shell pieces before packing
- 12Fumigation & packingPH₃ / CO₂ fumigation; vacuum or PE bags in cartons; shelf life 9–12 months
- 13Final check & loadingEach lot checked against the buyer's specification before container loading
