SUN DRY CASHEW NUTS
Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is a tree crop of considerable
economic importance to Nigeria and other tropical countries. Apart
from being a source of useful products and byproducts for food,
medicinal and industrial applications, cashew gives also a useful
shade, while ornamental and alley trees are suitable for the
control of soil erosion, particularly for the protection of
watersheds and dams.
Harvest: Cashew nut setting begins in the middle of dry season,
while harvesting takes place mainly in February or March. The
entire harvest period occupies about *6 weeks. In the Eastern and
Western parts of the country, where quality cashew nuts are grown,
nuts are allowed to drop to the ground before they are collected.
This practice ensures that only ripe nuts are collected. Nuts
normally fall to the ground with their apples attached; the two are
normally separated with a twisting action during collection. The
remnants of the apple flash adhering to the nuts are removed with a
sharp knife. After picking, the nuts are dried in the sun for 2 to
3 days, to reduce their moisture content to about *2 %. Properly
dried nuts are packed in jute bags and can be kept for 6 to *0
months, if stored in suitable condition.
Locations: Major cashew growing areas in Nigeria are, by order of
importance: Enugu, Abia, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Cross River
States in the eastern part of the country; Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti
and Ogun States in the Western part, as well as Kwara, Kogi,
Nassarawa, Benue, Taraba, Niger and FCT in the Middle Belt and also
Sokoto and Kebbi States in the North West part of the country. The
majority of export quality nuts come from the Western and Eastern
parts of the country.

Uses: The cashew nut is a popular snack, and its rich flavor means
that it is often eaten on its own, lightly salted or sugared. In
addition to this, cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), a by-product of
processing cashew, is mostly composed of anacardic acids. These
acids have been used effectively against tooth abscesses due to
their lethality to bacteria.
Export market: The major buyers of cashew nut from Nigeria are
mainly India and Singapore. Smaller percentage goes to Europe.
