Introduction: Delhi’s Love Affair with Cashew Nuts
Cashew nuts — or Kaju, as they’re lovingly called in India — have long been a staple in Indian kitchens. Whether for garnishing biryani, blending into rich gravies, or simply snacking, cashews hold a special place in the Indian palate.
Among the many bustling trade centers across India, Delhi has become a prominent hub for premium cashew supply, catering to household and wholesale buyers.
But what makes the Capital City of India a magnet for top-quality cashews?
Let’s explore why Delhi leads the cashew game — and how Exotic Crate is adding value to this thriving market.
Strategic Trade Location
Delhi’s central location gives it logistical access to all major ports (especially Mumbai, Mangalore, and Kochi — major import hubs for raw cashew nuts). This advantage:
- Reduces shipping time
- Lower transportation costs
- Enables faster distribution across North India
It’s also well-connected via rail, road, and air to neighboring states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, which are key markets for dried fruits and nuts.
Vibrant Wholesale & Retail Markets
Delhi is home to some of the largest dry fruit markets in India, including:
- Khari Baoli – Asia’s largest spice and dry fruit market
- Sadar Bazaar – A hub for bulk purchases and business-to-business trade
- Chandni Chowk – Popular for retail and wedding gifting items
These markets support a thriving cashew ecosystem, making it easy for buyers, from individuals to big retailers, to source quality Kaju at competitive prices.
Access to Premium Raw Materials
Though cashews are largely grown in Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Odisha, Delhi suppliers like Exotic Crate maintain strong procurement links with processors and farms in those regions.

Delhi has a large base of e-commerce players, gourmet food retailers, and modern supermarkets. These businesses prefer sourcing Kaju in bulk from trusted, local suppliers to:
- Ensure quick restocking
