• The processing of cashew involves the following steps Preliminary cleaning , Roasting , Shelling and separation , Drying , Peeling
• The processing units are mainly concentrated in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Orissa. The process is highly labour intensive and the work force consists mainly of women.
• The oil (referred to commercially as CNSL, cashew nut shell liquid) contains 90% anacardic acid and 10% cardol.
• CNSL has found important commercial usage as the phenolic raw material for the manufacture of certain resins and plastics having unusual electric and frictional properties.
• The cashew tree has been cultivated for food and medicine for 400 years. Cashews have served nutritional, medicinal and wartime needs. More recently, they have been used in the manufacture of adhesives, resins and natural insecticides.
• Cashew nut shell liquid is also used in mouldings, acid-resistant paints, foundry resins, varnishes, enamels and black lacquers for decorating vases, and as insecticides and fungicides. In tropical medicine, CNSL has been used in treating leprosy, elephantiasis, psoriasis, ringworm, warts and corns.
• India earns more than 200 million dollars a year by exporting 40 to 50 thousand tonnes of cashew kernels and the country's tradelinks are spread over 40 countries. Cashew is a craze in the United States which is by far the largest buyer.
• A study on the trends in cashew nut production during the past decades clearly indicate that there was only a very slow growth for cashew development in India compared to Vietnam and Nigeria.
• India continues to keep its top position in processing and exports using imported raw nuts.
• India is the leading cashew supplier to the United States, all of the major European markets, the Middle East, Russia, Eastern Europe, Australia and Japan.
• Commercial cultivation of cashew in India is taken up in eight states in India. It is also cultivated on small areas in other states of the country.
• Processed Cashew Exporters are India, Brazil, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya Vietnam & Indonesia.
• The United States, as one of the major cashew importers worldwide, strongly influences global cashew price levels. Cashew prices trade fixed in US$ per pound. The price of the standard specification W320 grade (320 count cashew kernels per pound) over the past 15 years has ranged from US $ 2.73 to US $ 3.18 per pound.
