The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for hulling and/or shelling a crop of nuts and/or seeds or the like. In one aspect, the apparatus comprises a tubular, elongate conduit comprising a plurality of bends and a plurality of substantially vertically extending portions connected by at least some of the bends, the apparatus further comprising a means for establishing a fluid flow through the conduit sufficient to entrain at least one nut and/or seed and convey the or each of the nuts and/or seeds through the conduit so that these are involved in one or more collisions with and/or within the conduit as they pass therethrough. In one form, the conduit is comprised of a plurality of conduit modules which are joined together to cooperatively form the conduit.
