• Maharashtra: The leading state with the highest production due to its ideal climatic conditions.
• Andhra Pradesh: Known for its extensive cashew orchards and second in production.
• Orissa: A significant contributor with a strong emphasis on cashew farming.
• Karnataka: Features a diverse agricultural landscape supporting cashew cultivation.
• Tamil Nadu: Has a long-standing tradition of cashew farming.
• Kerala: Historically known for its cashew processing industry.
• Chhattisgarh: Emerging as a notable producer with increasing cultivation efforts.
• West Bengal: Contributes modestly but has potential for growth.
• Meghalaya: A smaller player with unique climatic advantages for cultivation.
• Gujarat: The least among the top ten but still part of India's diverse agricultural profile.
• Hazards in cashew nut production include physical issues from repetitive motions (like <<<invisible_url>>>musculoskeletal disorders<<<invisible_url>>>), skin burns and irritation from the caustic oil in the shell, respiratory problems from fumes and dust, ergonomic risks from poor workstations, and microbiological contamination<<<invisible_url>>> (like aflatoxins<<<invisible_url>>>).
•  Additionally, workers can face stress and psychological issues due to job insecurity and poor conditions.
• • Skin Burns and Irritation: 

    The caustic oil in the cashew nut shell can cause severe skin irritation, chemical burns, and dermatitis on contact, especially during shelling. 
  • Respiratory Problems: 

    Exposure to dust, fine particulate matter<<<invisible_url>>>, and fumes from burning cashew nut shell can lead to chronic lung diseases and other respiratory issues. 
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs): 

    Repetitive tasks like shelling, peeling, and grading, coupled with poor posture and inadequate workstation ergonomics, commonly cause back pain, joint pain, and other MSDs. 
  • Psychological Strain: 

    Job insecurity, lengthy and repetitive tasks, and inadequate recognition can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression among workers. 
  • Microbiological Contamination: 

    Aflatoxins<<<invisible_url>>>, a type of mold, can grow on improperly stored nuts and pose a risk of liver damage or cancer if consumed. 
  Environmental Hazards 
  • Air Pollution: 

    The process of roasting and heating cashew nut shells can release harmful gases, contributing to air pollution.
  • Waste Disposal: 

    Improper disposal of cashew nut shells and other waste can lead to land and water pollution.
  Safety Hazards
  • Infestation: 

    Raw cashew nuts stored in sacks, especially if exposed to rain, are susceptible to infestation by insects. 
  • Contamination: 

    Inadequate sanitation practices in processing units can lead to cross-contamination of the product by pets, cleaning products, or poor stock management. 
  • Poor Ergonomics: 

    Many cashew processing units are not designed ergonomically, leading to discomfort and strain for workers, particularly women. 
  These hazards can be mitigated through interventions such as designing ergonomic workstations, using protective equipment, providing appropriate training on handling cashew shells, and improving storage conditions.

• The main side effects of cashew nuts are allergic reactions, which can be severe, and digestive issues like bloating or diarrhea from overconsumption. 
• Other potential issues include weight gain due to high calories, increased risk of kidney stones from their oxalate content, and possible skin irritation if exposed to unprocessed raw cashews.
•  Salted cashews can also raise blood pressure due to high sodium content.

• Cashews are expensive due to limited growing regions and climate-sensitive harvests, a difficult and labor-intensive extraction process that requires manual removal of toxic oils and husks, and high consumer demand driven by their versatility and popularity as a healthy snack. 
• The ratio of raw nuts to finished kernels is low, meaning a large amount of raw product is needed to produce a small yield of kernels, further contributing to the cosT.

• To start a cashew nut business, first conduct thorough market research and create a comprehensive business plan. Secure financing, register your business, and obtain necessary licenses and permits, including a trade license and GST registration. Decide on your business model, such as processing raw nuts or creating value-added products. Establish your processing unit, acquire the necessary machinery, and ensure you have a supply of quality raw cashews. Finally, develop a strategy for sales and distribution to sell your processed cashew kernels in domestic or international markets.  

  • Do cashews contain lithium?

    Nuts are particularly rich in lithium, with estimated concentrations of 1.09 and 3.12 µg/g in cashew nuts and walnuts, respectively⁵. Sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, and pine nuts are also notable sources of dietary lithium.

  • Funding: Seek financing from banks, regional rural banks, or cooperative banks, potentially utilizing government subsidies for MSMEs or food processing businesses. 
  • Business Registration: Register your business as a sole proprietorship, one-person company, or private limited company with the Registrars of Companies. 
  • Licensing & Permits: Obtain a trade license from the municipal authority and register for GST. 

  3. Business Model & Operations

  • Business Model: 

    Decide if you will focus on processing raw cashew nuts into kernels, creating value-added products like flavored cashews, or both. 
  • Location: 

    Select a site for your processing unit strategically, ideally near raw material sources to reduce transportation costs. 
  • Raw Material Sourcing: 

    Determine where you will procure raw cashew nuts and establish reliable supply chains. 

  4. Setting Up the Processing Unit

  • Machinery: Acquire necessary equipment, including a boiler, shelling machine, grader, roaster, peeler, and packing machine. 
  • Plant Layout: Design an efficient plant layout and consider consulting with machinery suppliers for professional advice on equipment and material handling. 
  • Human Resources: Hire skilled workers, machine operators, and other necessary personnel. 

  5. Sales & Distribution

  • Identify Buyers: Find buyers for your processed cashew kernels. 
  • Marketing: Promote your products in the domestic and international markets to food industries, snack providers, and confectioners.

• AI Overview

  

  Cashews are made by first harvesting raw, shelled nuts from cashew apples on cashew trees, followed by sun-drying the nuts to reduce moisture. Next, workers or machines carefully crack open the nuts, as the shell contains a toxic, caustic liquid. The raw cashew kernels are then roasted to destroy toxins and develop flavor, and the thin, protective skin is peeled off. Finally, the nuts are inspected, sorted by sizE.
