Cashew Nuts: The Golden Seed of Global Agriculture Trade

Cashew nut is the real fruit of a cashew, which is called Anacardium Occidentale L. in scientific terms. It resembles the shape of a kidney. Cashew nuts are technically not nuts but seeds, which are hung within the cashew fruit at the end of the cashew apple - the edible swollen fruit stem. This is why it is also known as "false fruit." It has its origin in the Anacardiaceae family and originated in Brazil. Later on, between 1563 and 1578, the Portuguese brought cashew nuts to India (specifically Goa) and Africa. Around 33 varieties of cashews have been identified since then. The W-180 variety of cashew is called the "king of cashews" because of its premium quality, large-scale availability, and a comparatively larger size.

The flowering of cashews takes place from December to April in the Northern hemisphere (Russia, Canada, China, India), and from June to December in the Southern hemisphere (Australia, Chile, Brazil, South Africa). It takes around 2 to 3 months for the cashew fruit to fully mature and become ready for harvesting. However, this also depends on the tree's health, variety, and the climate conditions. They are then used for various purposes - as a snack (roasted cashews) and as an ingredient in curries, noodles, Asian stir-fries, etc (by making a paste out of it). 


Every 100 g serving of cashew nuts provides a range of nutrients, which are:

  • Protein: 17.4 g
  • Fats: 38.9 g
  • Iron: 5.99 mg
  • Calcium: 42 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 36.3 gm
  • Energy: 565 kcal
  • Sodium: 5 mg
  • Magnesium: 251 mg
  • Fiber: 4.1 g


Here are some cool facts about cashews that most people don't know:

  • The informal name of cashew, "Caju," comes from Portuguese. This term is derived from the Tupian word "acaju", which means "self-producing nut". 
  • The cashew trees are around 32 to 50 feet tall. 
  • In the United States, cashews are considered a premium snack (roasted or salted cashews), where they consume approximately 90% of the world's cashew harvest.
  • The cashew apple turns pink or yellow, and the nutshell dark grey when they are ready for harvest.
  • In Mayan medicine, the cashew tree's leaf and bark is used in a beverage to treat diarrhea.
  • The colour of cashews becomes green when they are roasted. 
  • Since World War II, the nutshell of cashews has been used to make military equipment, lubricants, and paints.



The Industrial & Culinary Significance Powering the Cashew Nuts Global Trade

The world production of cashew nuts ranges from 720,000 to 790,000 MT every year. India ranks second among the producing countries by having an annual production of 170,000-195,000 MT. This data is enough to back up the fact that cashew nuts have gained huge popularity in the global trade market. The primary reason for this surge of demand is that cashew nuts are a natural source of healthy fats, fibre, and protein. Did you know that India is also one of the top-consuming countries of cashew nuts? The US and Germany come 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Other than them, a lot of developed (18 countries) and developing (46 countries) countries are active in producing cashew nuts. Both the processed (roasted, salted, oil, juice, and in powder form) and raw forms are a prime variety in the export of cashew nuts. This huge consumption and demand doubled the production of cashew nuts from 2000 to 2018. 

The value of cashew nuts in several sectors, from food production to industrial manufacturing, is what drives the countries to produce and export to their full potential. Exporters export a lot of products extracted from cashew plants to boost their country's economic growth. Some of those are raw cashew nuts, cashew nut shell liquid, cashew kernel, cashew nut oil, shell powder, butter, cashew juice, flour, etc. Farmers carry out an intensive harvesting process to make the best out of the cashew plants. This is the main reason why cashew nuts and their products are exported at a premium price. The whole Kaju price 1 kg usually has a range of INR 800 to 1,100 in India. No wonder why Cashew nuts are also known as cash crops. Other than these factors, there are a lot of other uses of cashew nuts that drive their exports internationally. Those are as follows:

  • Cashew oil is used in salad dressing and cooking procedures like frying, sautéing, baking, etc. 

  • The fruit of cashews is fermented to make alcoholic drinks like Feni. It is also used in making juices and jams. 

  • Cashew nut shell liquid has binding and protective qualities, which make it perfect for use in the production of paints, coatings, and varnishes, and manufacturing brake linings and clutch facings in vehicles. 

  • It is one of the key ingredients in the skin and hair care industry (moisturizers, cleansers, and others) because of being rich in Vitamin E and its antioxidant, nourishing, and strengthening properties. 

  • The country’s economy depends on the cashew global trade industry’s potential for its upliftment.
