THE FUTURE OF THE CASHEW INDUSTRY |
| Author: | D.C. RUSSELL |
| Abstract:
Three factors on which cashew industry is dependent, i.e. the availability of raw material, the cost of production and stable market are highlighted in this paper. The important aspects which will help cashew industry in general are; increasing the yield through rehabilitation of old plantings and control of pests. The cost of production can be reduced by mechanical innovation and aids and by reducing the number of market grades. Attempts should be made to minimise the fluctuations in availability of raw material and finished products for stabilising cashew industry. Research financing and co-ordination are also discussed. | |
