Product Description

Four centuries ago, the adventurous Portuguese came sailing down the Indian coasts and brought with them the priceless tree nut "Cashew" , the wondernut of the world. Cashew came, conquerede and took deep roots in the entire coastal region of India. Cashew found the Indian soil more homely than its homeland.

Later it spread as a popular crop to other parts of India . Cashew cultivation now covers a total area of 0.70 million hectares of land, producing over. 0.40 million M.T. of raw cashewnuts annually.

Standard specifications for Indian cashew kernels for export have been laid down by the Government of India under the Export (Quality Control And Inspection) Act 1963.
