Project Profile : Cashew Processing Unit


Capacity – 2 TPD to 10 TPD

Investment -INR 3 Crore to 9.5 Crore


Project Description

The Indian Cashew market is projected to register a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecast period (2022-2027).


Globally, India witnesses the largest consumption of cashew. However, due to COVID-19, the price of cashew fell to the lowest it has been in the last 10-12 years. The value addition activities were affected negatively as a disrupted distribution channel tends to lower the value of end-products of cashew nuts in the market. The extended lockdown has hit consumption in India as well as demand. The Cashew Export Promotion Council of India (CEPCI) has urged the Union Government to allocate sufficient funds and put forward a few schemes to increase the production of cashews in the country; this initiative is projected to drive the cashew market. Cashew kernels are a high-value luxury commodity with sales growing steadily at an annual rate of seven percent, with every expectation that the market will remain strong.


India is the major cashew growing country in Asia-Pacific, positioned as the largest producer of raw cashew nut (RCN) globally, with 550,000 metric tons of cashew production per annum, which covers an area of 1.02 million hectares. In India, cashew is grown in the peninsular areas of Kerala, Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and West Bengal. Among these, Kerala is the largest producing state.
