Rooted in Cambodia,
built for the world.

Our story

A fair seat at the global table.

YAVO Foods was founded on a simple belief: Cambodia's farmers deserve a fair seat at the global table.

We work hand-in-hand with agricultural communities across the country — supporting them, sourcing from them, and turning their harvest into world-class cashews ready for any market.

Cambodia's fertile soils and tropical climate produce some of Southeast Asia's finest cashews. Yet too often, the raw nuts are shipped abroad for processing — taking value, jobs, and craftsmanship with them. We're changing that, one harvest at a time.

What we're building

Three pillars, one vision.

From farm to factory to global market — every part of YAVO is designed to keep value at origin.

Farming Network

Since 2021, we've built strong relationships with farmers and agricultural communities across Cambodia. We source directly — no middlemen — and invest in the people growing our cashews.

Cashew Processing

Our processing facility in Siem Reap starts in Q4 2026 with a 10+ tonne capacity. Built with green principles, designed for export-grade quality, and ready to scale with demand.

Global Trade

We connect Cambodian cashews to markets worldwide — serving importers, wholesalers, retailers, and snack brands with reliable supply and full traceability.

Our values

What we stand for.

Six principles that shape how we source, process, and trade.

Women-Owned

A women-owned business built on strong leadership, long-term vision, and responsible decision-making.

Fair Sourcing

We work directly with trusted farmers, ensuring fair conditions and transparent sourcing at origin.

Technical Excellence

25 years of processing mastery on our team — we apply deep technical know-how to every step of production.

Quality Control

We apply strict quality control to guarantee consistent standards, reliable processing, and export-ready compliance.

Zero Waste

We turn shells into CNSL bio-resource, broken kernels into butter, and side-streams into value — across every operation.

Low Carbon Footprint

We optimize logistics and production processes to reduce emissions and minimize our overall environmental impact.
