Our story

A global trading house, built on trust.

Cornhouse began in Rotterdam in 2000 with a simple idea: trade nuts honestly, stay close to the people who grow them, and build relationships that outlast any single deal. A quarter-century on, that idea still runs the business.

Cornhouse B.V. Rotterdam

The journey

From one office to three continents.

What started as a cashew and peanut trade out of the Netherlands has grown into an international sourcing business, without losing the personal, hands-on approach that defines how we work.

We’ve added origins, products and people over the years, always for the same reason: to serve our customers better and keep supply moving, season after season.
