We source pine nuts and pepitas from our subsidiary Golden Pacific Foods in Dalian, China. From our facility in Malatya, Turkey we source our fresh apricots and control the quality from the ground up while overseeing drying, processing, and packaging. Our office in Ghana is located in the heart of West Africa's cashew producing region and has played an integral role in validating market reports for historically manipulated markets while sourcing raw cashew nuts and kernels from RRF-approved facilities. Our new factory in Vietnam allows us to take further control over the supply chain, ensuring the best quality cashews on the market.Our global presence has enabled us to implement several CSR initiatives within key value chains.
