Kerala government sets record price of ₹150 a kg for raw cashew nut

Kerala government sets record price of ₹150 a kg for raw cashew nut

Published by Parlour News

In a decision aimed at revitalising the cashew sector, the State government has fixed the price of domestic raw cashew nuts (RCN) at an all-time high of ₹150 per kg. This record-breaking rate was determined during a high-level meeting of the State-appointed price fixing committee, marking the highest value ever assigned to cashew by the government. The move is expected to provide immediate relief to cashew farmers while ensuring that cashew factories have a steady and reliable supply of raw materials without the interference of market volatility. To ensure that this fair price reaches every grower, the committee has issued a strict mandate requiring all buyers to pay the full ₹150 per kilogram. The government has also established a robust procurement network to facilitate this, primarily through the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation (KSCDC) and Kerala State Cashew Workers Apex Industrial Co-operative Society (CAPEX). These public sector organisations will accept produce directly from farmers at their various factory locations. Market stability Additionally, the Cashew Board will manage larger volumes through a specialised tender process to maintain market …

A Malvani Cashew Curry that is a Summer Favourite

On a sunny and humid afternoon in Sindhudurg, chef Dilip Bavkar dons his apron and hat as he prepares for a cooking demonstration. His audience is sneaking bits of raw mango and cashew apple that is part of his mise en place. He is demonstrating an utterly delicious recipe, but one I have never tasted before, featuring the region’s most popular summer fruit in a curry — cashew apple. Sindhudurg is a region abundant with cashew and mango orchards, much like Goa. But, unlike Goa, the cashew apple isn’t used much, often discarded or used as manure. But at Coco Shambhala near Bhogwe Beach, the chefs use the cashew apple in a typical Malvani curry. The star of this curry is the Malvani masala, an aromatic spice mix unique to the region.  Bavkar combines this spice mix with coconut to make a bright orange base masala, that he then cooks …
