Groundnut And Cashews Suppliers

Down on 4th Street near the Police Line in Panruti, you’ll find us working with nuts all day. Panruti is famous for its cashews, and we’ve been part of that trade for a long time. Our place smells like earth and roasted shells most of the time. We get the groundnuts and cashews in big jute sacks, and then the work of sorting them begins. It’s a manual process for the most part, and it takes a lot of patience to make sure the quality is what it should be. The floor is usually covered in some dust from the shells, no matter how much we sweep. We have a few scales for weighing and a bunch of bags waiting to be filled. It’s a simple operation, really. We don’t have a website or anything like that; we just talk to people who come by or call us on the phone. The street outside can get a bit narrow when the trucks come to load up, so we have to move quickly to get the bags on board. We’ve known the other shopkeepers on the street for decades. It’s a hard-working neighborhood. We just focus on supplying honest produce to the markets and shops that need it. There’s no secret to it, just picking the right nuts and getting them packed up before the rains come or the sun gets too hot. We usually take a short break for tea when the afternoon heat is at its worst.
