Candlenut: A Local Spice with High Export Potential
Why candlenut is gaining attention in international markets?
Candlenut (Aleurites moluccanus) is a traditional Indonesian spice commonly used to thicken and add richness to local dishes. However, globally, candlenut is increasingly recognized for its high oil content — up to 60–70% — making it a valuable raw material for vegetable oil, cosmetics, and biofuel industries. PT Adhi Cahaya Global produces export-quality dried candlenut with uniform size, low moisture, and free from mold. We source nuts from volcanic-rich regions like Central Java and Yogyakarta to ensure superior quality. Each batch is rigorously inspected before being packed in lined jute bags to maintain freshness during sea freight. We also offer roasted candlenut or candlenut powder upon customer request. With rising global demand and abundant local supply, Indonesian candlenut has a bright future as a high-value export commodity.
