Competitive edge of Bangladesh over major exporting countries:

1. Labor cost is 300 times lower than India and Vietnam.
2. Bonded warehouse facility allowing duty-free import of raw material which is a complex process in India, Vietnam
3. Destination market EU allows duty-free import (GSP) of Bangladesh processed cashew kernel which Vietnam, India don’t have
4. Vietnam has lost duty-free access potential to USA market due to cancellation of “Trans Pacific Partnership” by USA
5. Duty free access to billion dollar Indian local cashew market for SAFTA.
6. Workers in Bangladesh work at 10 hours working shift whereas Vietnam/India works only 8 hours per shift
7. It is possible to operate 2 x 10 hours work shift per day in Bangladesh which is not possible in India, Vietnam
8. Hill tracts of Chittagong has been growing 500 MT Raw Cashew Nut which if nurtured can feed raw cashew nut at much cheaper price than international import.
9. Cashew kernel price is directly sensitive to raw cashew nut price change as it is a delux item and making it risk free from raw material price volatility.

We will also focus on producing other by products like Cashew nut shell liquid, cardanol, residol and many more allied products and we strive to provide the versatile Cashew Nut Shell liquid and its distillates and derivatives tailored to customer’s requirements.
