A seasonal market with no global benchmark
West Africa's cashew season runs roughly February to June, when the crop moves from farm to port in a compressed window — prices are set season by season, deal by deal. Côte d'Ivoire, the world's largest producer, anchors the region by decreeing a farmgate floor price each February; Nigeria's market is free-floating, so its exchange price is the live pulse of West African raw-nut values between those seasonal anchors.
Most of the crop ships raw to Vietnam and India for shelling. That means the naira-dollar rate and Asian kernel demand drive Nigerian prices as much as the local harvest does — the USD-per-tonne conversion above is the number export negotiations start from.
