Our Story
From the Cashew Tree to Arumbu Cashews
A family journey that began with cashew cultivation and raw cashews, and gradually grew into full-fledged cashew processing.
Our Story
Roots in cashew cultivation
Arumbu Cashews did not begin as a brand entering the cashew business. It began at the cultivation level, with a family that grew cashews and harvested raw cashews directly from the trees.
In the early years, the family sold the harvested cashews as raw produce, without processing them into finished kernels. That raw-cashew trade was the foundation of the family's relationship with cashews — years spent understanding the crop before ever processing a single kernel.
Over time, the business gradually evolved. Arumbu Cashews was started as the family moved towards processing cashews themselves, rather than only selling them raw. Today, that evolution continues — Arumbu Cashews is focused on processing cashews and providing good-quality cashew products.
The Journey
Cultivation to processing
Roots in Cashew Cultivation
The family's journey began with cashew cultivation and harvesting raw cashews from their own agricultural experience.
Raw Cashew Trade
The harvested raw cashews were sold as raw produce, without processing them into finished kernels.
A New Beginning
With the establishment of Arumbu Cashews, the family began moving into cashew processing.
Learning & Growing
The transition from raw cashew sales to processing happened gradually, building experience at every stage.
Processing Today
Today, Arumbu Cashews is focused on full-fledged cashew processing and supplying quality cashew grades.
The Founder
Sivakumar L
Founder, Arumbu Cashews
Sivakumar L comes from a farming family and has spent his life working the land — cultivating a range of crops, with jackfruit and cashew as his main areas of focus. Years of hands-on agricultural experience shaped the way he thinks about quality: nothing beats produce that's grown, harvested and handled with genuine care.
The name Arumbu carries personal meaning. It is the name of his mother, Arumbu, and it now carries her name forward as the identity of the brand. His father, Late Lakshmanaperumal, was an important part of the family's agricultural journey — and his legacy continues to shape the values behind the business.
His approach has always been simple — work hard, stay genuine, maintain transparency, and give customers exactly what the product actually is, without unnecessary claims or exaggeration. That same mindset became the foundation Arumbu Cashews was built on.
Arumbu Cashews carries that legacy forward — rooted in family, grounded in agriculture, and built on the same honesty Sivakumar has practiced his entire working life.

From Raw to Processed
A gradual transition
The move from raw cashew trading to processing did not happen overnight. It happened gradually, one stage at a time — learning how the cashew behaves at every step, from harvest to the finished kernel.
That gradual approach means Arumbu Cashews understands cashews from their origin through to processing, not just from the processing floor.
Our Philosophy
From the tree to the finished kernel
We believe quality begins with understanding the raw cashew. Because the family has been connected with cashew cultivation and raw cashews, the business understands that good finished cashews begin with good raw material and careful processing.
