SOURCE REGISTRY & REVIEW DISCLOSURE
Reviewed rows: Ghana, Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire.
Ghana and Nigeria are published. The Côte d’Ivoire price text is malformed in the source table, so ATI withholds that row instead of inferring a correction.

Freshness: latest compatible observation ended 26 June 2026; source archive last reviewed 21 September 2026. Ghana’s 2026 season has closed (ACA, AfriCashewSplits Week 25–26 Market Report 2026), so no newer Ghana offer exists yet; new prices are expected from late March 2027. Limit: ACA bulletin ranges are dated offered-price indications for the stated origin, outturn and CFR destination. They are not live quotes, completed trades, firm bids or a continuous benchmark series.

Different price bases. The TCDA producer floor and CFR offered ranges are at different points in the value chain. ATI does not subtract them to claim an exporter margin; quality, freight, finance and other costs are not represented by that subtraction. CFR is the formal Cost and Freight term, also called CNF in cashew reports.

QUALITY SENSITIVITY · INDICATIVE MODEL
Translate a sourced range into a parcel estimate.
Select a dated market observation or enter a real buyer offer. ATI then applies the published Fairtrade KOR and raw-nut-count sensitivity. The output remains a negotiation aid—not a live quote, valuation or contract price.
Raw nuts/kg describes in-shell RCN size. It is not W180: W180 is a processed-kernel grade measured as kernels per pound.
The source supports an 8–10% moisture guidance range, not a universal dollar penalty. Defects and excess moisture require buyer-specific inspection and contract terms. Read the quality guidance ↗
EVIDENCE COVERAGE
Country and processor claims require dated, direct supporting evidence.
No universal CFR quality tariff is published. Final adjustments require the buyer contract, broker schedule or inspection terms.
