OUR FOUNDER
Mr. Nitesh Agarwal
Founder | Chartered Accountant | Entrepreneur
The journey of NutFresh began with the vision of Mr. Nitesh Agarwal, a Chartered Accountant who ventured beyond the financial sector to build a modern food manufacturing enterprise.
With his understanding of finance, business management and systems, he saw an opportunity to bring greater professionalism, technology and process control to the cashew manufacturing industry.
In 2017, this vision became NutFresh.
His approach was not limited to establishing a manufacturing facility. The focus was on creating an integrated system where quality begins at the source, technology drives processing, experts monitor every critical stage, and hygiene and safety remain integral to the entire operation.

“A modern approach to traditional goodness.”

ABOUT NUTFRESH
Quality Cashews for a Better Tomorrow
NutFresh is a cashew manufacturing and processing company specializing in quality cashew kernels across different grades and specifications.
We cater to both B2B and B2C markets, allowing us to serve wholesalers, distributors, businesses, retailers and consumers across diverse market segments.
Our manufacturing philosophy is built around three fundamental principles:
Quality
Technology
Hygiene
Our cashews are processed using advanced high-tech machinery from Vietnam, supported by automation, trained professionals and systematic quality checks throughout the manufacturing process.
From procurement to final packaging, our objective remains the same — to maintain the quality, smoothness, texture, appearance, cleanliness and overall consistency of our cashews.
OUR PROCUREMENT
Quality Begins at the Source
At NutFresh, we believe that the quality of the finished cashew begins with the quality of the raw cashew.
We have developed a diversified procurement network across African and Indian origins, enabling us to source different types, sizes and qualities of raw cashew according to our manufacturing requirements.
International Origins
- Benin
- Tanzania
- Ghana
- Senegal
- Other African Markets
Indian Origins
- Maharashtra
- Goa
- Andhra Pradesh
- Tamil Nadu
- Karnataka
But sourcing is not simply about selecting an origin. Whenever we purchase raw cashew on the ground, our procurement and quality specialists personally evaluate the raw material before procurement. They carefully assess the condition and characteristics of the raw cashew, including relevant parameters such as size, moisture, defects, overall condition and processing potential. Only after the material meets our required standards does it move into our supply chain.
- Our First Quality Check Starts Before Manufacturing.
OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS
From Raw Cashew to Finished Kernel
At NutFresh, quality is not a final-stage activity. Quality is a continuous process.
Every critical stage of manufacturing is monitored to ensure that the product maintains its required quality, hygiene, safety, texture and appearance.
Our manufacturing process combines advanced Vietnamese technology, automation and expert human inspection to create a controlled journey from raw cashew to finished kernel.

QUALITY AT EVERY STEP
Not Just a Final Check. A Continuous Commitment.
At NutFresh, quality control begins before the raw cashew reaches our factory and continues until the finished product reaches the customer.
