Reviving the Cashew Industry: Palawan Cashew Company's Story

As we celebrate our country's independence, it brings me great joy to celebrate our cashew treasures from Coron! Believe it or not, most cashews available here are imported from Vietnam, known for its large-scale production and lower prices. That's why I am happy to discover the Palawan Cashew Company, the first and sole semi-automated cashew processing facility in the Philippines.

This pioneering company is dedicated to crafting high-quality, all-natural cashew products that proudly bear the "Made in Coron, Palawan" label. What sets them apart is their commitment to sourcing cashews directly from Coron's wild forest, where locals hand-picked them. This approach not only ensures the highest quality but also helps revive the cashew industry in the country while bolstering local livelihoods.

If you love cashews like I do, I highly recommend trying Palawan Cashew Company's products. Under the brand name Pedro, they offer whole cashew kernels and a range of bottled cashew butter products. These products are available at Real Food Rockwell and will soon be at Healthy Options.
