How to choose
If your raw nuts and processing yield a good share of large wholes, targeting W240 can lift average revenue per kg. If you want the fastest, most reliable sales, W320 is the safe default. Most processors produce a mix and grade precisely so each kernel goes into its best-paying class.
Yield note
Grade mix is set upstream: good raw-nut grading, gentle shelling and dry peeling protect the large whole kernels that qualify for W240.
