TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAIN

We strongly believe that visibility is the backbone for transparency, and transparency is the foundation for trust. At Dorado, supply chain transparency is a priority as it is key to connecting with our consumers, building trust and achieving better visibility across all parts of the supply chain to drive improvements, and react faster and more effectively.

In today’s ethically conscious consumer culture, consumers want to know that they are spending their money on authentic, high-quality, safe products that live up to their ideals and we are able to guarantee completely traceable cashew nuts through our collaborative partnerships with farming communities and cooperatives.

SECURE & CONSISTENT

By maintaining a high level of transparency during the manufacturing process, we are able to ensure that we produce cashew nuts of the highest standards. Strategically integrating processing systems under a single roof significantly allows us to ensure consistency in quality, appearance and taste in our cashews.

By streamlining our processing steps under a single roof, we are able to meet quality and efficiency standards, achieve better process control and scale up production volume. Consistency and productivity are key to making our operations a success at Dorado because everything is efficient, standardized, and precise.

Process control

Process is controlled from beginning to end: Processing facility is temperature controlled by using (HVAC / HSE) units where very step is monitored to the tee to get best end result.

Integrated processing facilities

At Dorado, we pride ourselves in our highly automated continuous manufacturing system, with automation controlling the flow of raw cashew kernels to processed cashew nuts. In contrast to batch manufacturing which requires more manual intervention, as the equipment needs to be set up and adjusted for each production run, Dorado’s continuous automated system allows for more consistent and efficient production. Our system has many benefits.

Enhanced food safety

At Dorado, our integrated processing system helps us consistently maintain food safety by constantly monitoring the production process, thus identifying and addressing potential problems before they occur.

Improved quality control

Strategically incorporating this system allows us to accurately monitor and control the processing of our cashews. This results in the high-quality cashews with consistency in appearance and taste.

Increased efficiency

Our integrated processing set up allows for a more streamlined production process, as raw cashew kernels can be continuously fed into the production line, steadily producing cashew nuts. By employing this system, we have the advantage of faster turnaround times thus maintaining an efficient flow of process.

Reduced waste

In steadily monitoring the production flow, we are able to reduce waste by identifying and addressing potential problems before they occur.

Enhanced sustainability

By minimizing energy and resource consumption and fewer production errors leading to less waste and a smaller environmental footprint, our integrated processing facility helps us achieve our mission to be the more sustainable choice.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Dorado, are committed to contributing to a better world, while ensuring that we remain an essential key player in the cashew sector. We take measures to employ economically-sound processes that conserve the use of energy and natural resources while curtailing negative environmental impacts. We believe that by doing so we can also strengthen employee, community and product safety.

We understand that being environmentally responsible not only impacts the needs of the planet and wider society, it is also an essential part of the manufacturing value chain and delivers significant benefits for all stakeholders.

By processing cashew nuts at their origin to reduce direct and indirect emissions, investing in innovation and strategic analysis to go beyond compliance and working collaboratively with external stakeholders, we integrate sustainability across our all our business functions. We believe processing at origin is the future of sustainable manufacturing and key to the longevity of our industry.

PROCUREMENT

Our procurement strategy is built on working closely with farmer cooperatives and communities to ensure transparency throughout the supply chain. We have a clear understanding of where our raw materials come from, and we know the actual farmers involved. By sourcing from multiple regions in IVC, we can achieve solid traceability of our products.

We also work on initiatives to improve regional quality, leveraging our knowledge and data to drive future growth. By prioritizing transparency and working closely with our partners in the supply chain, we can ensure a sustainable and responsible procurement process that benefits everyone involved.
