THE COMMODITY
II.What Cashew is, and what H-α does with it
Cashew moves in two distinct trades that are priced separately and are often confused. Raw cashew nut (RCN) in shell ships from West Africa — Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania — and from India and Cambodia to processing capacity in Vietnam and India; shelled kernel then ships on to the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, China and the Gulf. The kernel grade — W180 through W450, then splits, butts and pieces — sets the price, and outturn, the kernel yield from a tonne of RCN, is what an RCN buyer is actually buying.
What the subscription does with it
The subscription separates the raw and kernel legs by HS heading rather than blending them, reads the declared record on each, and keeps processors, exporters and importers in one counterparty book with the role stamped on every row. The price basis is whatever the registry names for this commodity and only that; where the desk holds no print, the report says so rather than substituting a neighbouring series.
The registry’s note on the headings this subscription reads:
080131 cashew nuts, IN SHELL (RCN — the raw nut West Africa exports); 080132 cashew nuts, SHELLED (kernels — what Viet Nam and India export)
The registry’s caveat on the price anchor:
US Government work (17 U.S.C. 105). The API terms require attribution and prohibit implying Census endorsement; they do not restrict redistribution. Terms: https://www.census.gov/data/developers/about/terms-of-service.html
