CASHEW CULTIVATION AND RESEARCH IN MALAYSIA |
| Authors: | I. ABDUL GHANI, A. ABDUL RAZAK |
| Abstract:
Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) is being grown extensively along the east coast of West Malaysia on sandy bris soil where other forms of agriculture has not been able to establish itself. It is estimated that 3500 hectares are planted with cashew. The factors limiting the yields are (i) the poor fertility of the bris soil, (ii) climate of the east coast (iii) shortage of harvesters at the peak fruiting seasons. Agencies such as CIMA, MARDI and Department of Agriculture and Universities are conducting research to solve some of the basic problems. | |
