## Frequently asked questions

### What does Bafata Agri Resources do?

Bafata Agri Resources, SARL is a raw cashew nut (RCN) export company based in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau. We help international buyers find verified cashew sellers, control quality and moisture, handle the export documentation, and coordinate shipment from the Port of Bissau to the buyer's destination port.

### Which companies export raw cashew nuts from Bissau, Guinea-Bissau?

Raw cashew nuts from Guinea-Bissau are exported by licensed exporting companies based in Bissau, which buy from smallholder producers across the country and ship through the Port of Bissau. Bafata Agri Resources, SARL is one of these exporters: a Bissau-based company that sources, inspects, documents and ships RCN for international buyers.

### Where are cashews grown in Guinea-Bissau?

Cashew is grown by smallholder farmers across most of Guinea-Bissau. Bafata Agri Resources buys in the regions of Bafatá, Gabú, Oio, Quinara and Cacheu, and consolidates lots before trucking them to the Port of Bissau.

### When does the Guinea-Bissau cashew campaign start?

Guinea-Bissau's official raw cashew campaign opens once the government sets the reference price — for 2027, in April 2027, when village-level buying starts. Preparation opens earlier, in February 2027: volume reservation, logistics planning and contract framing. Buyers who wait for the opening negotiate for what is left.

### What quality of raw cashew nuts does Guinea-Bissau produce?

Guinea-Bissau RCN typically delivers an outturn (KOR) of 46 to 52 lbs, moisture of 8 to 10%, a nut count of 180 to 200 per kilogram and defects under 10%. Every lot we ship is cut-tested and moisture-checked, and the analysis travels with the shipment.

### What do KOR, outturn and nut count mean for raw cashew nuts?

Outturn, or KOR (kernel outturn ratio), is the weight in pounds of usable kernel recovered from an 80 kg bag of raw cashew nuts — the higher, the better. Nut count is the number of nuts per kilogram — the lower, the larger the nuts. Moisture is the water content of the nuts; lower moisture keeps the lot stable in storage and transit.

### Which port are Guinea-Bissau cashews shipped from?

Guinea-Bissau's raw cashew exports are shipped from the Port of Bissau. Bafata Agri Resources trucks lots from the warehouse to the terminal and supervises stuffing and loading on the quay.

### Which export documents do you provide?

Export licence, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, customs declaration, quality analysis report, certified weighbridge tickets, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. We assemble the set as one indexed file and can match your bank's or broker's required wording.

### Which Incoterms do you work on, and where do you ship?

We ship FOB Bissau, FAS, CFR and CIF. Our buyers are cashew processors and importers in India, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates.

### Do I need a company or an export licence in Guinea-Bissau to buy from you?

No. Where a buyer does not want to incorporate locally or take out an export licence, Bafata Agri Resources can organise the export in its own name, subject to contractual and regulatory validation.

### What payment terms do you accept?

We agree payment terms contract by contract — typically a letter of credit (L/C) or cash against documents (CAD), or another structure that works for both sides. The document set is prepared to match your bank's wording.

### What is the minimum order quantity?

We work in full container loads and vessel parcels. Tell us your target volume in metric tonnes and your destination port, and we will confirm what is workable for your shipment window.

### How do I start?
