Market Analysis

Cashew Market Overview:

The cashew market is largely driven by the shifting consumer preferences towards nutritious snacks and the emerging health and wellness trends. Additionally, cashews are rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, making them a popular choice for snacking. For instance, a cashew processing unit was inaugurated in Pandiri Maamidi in Rampachodavaram Agency. It is the first cashew manufacturing facility in the Agency, which gives a fillip to the tribal farmers through the Van Dhan Vikas Kendras (VDVK), an initiative of the Indian Central Government.

Moreover, IGA’s Exclusive Brands  has launched a new line of snack nut varieties that include cashews, peanuts, almonds, and mixed nuts. Besides this, the rise of plant-based diets and vegetarian/vegan lifestyles is driving the requirement for plant-based protein sources, including nuts, such as cashews, which is further augmenting the market growth. For instance, So Delicious Co. provides unsweetened cashew milk beverages, which are non-GMO, soy-free, gluten-free, vegan, eco-friendly, dairy alternatives, and low-calorie milk derivatives.

Cashew Market Trends:

Increasing Consumption of Cashew as a Healthy Snack

Cashews are extensively used as one of the main ingredients in preparing various sweet and savory dishes, especially in Asian cuisine. Moreover, these nuts are utilized in mueslis, energy bars, cookies, chocolates, and ice creams. In line with this, cashews are known to be high in nutrients, such as copper, which improve bone health, as one ounce of cashew contains 622 micrograms of copper. The rise of plant-based diets and vegetarian/vegan lifestyles is driving the demand for plant-based protein sources, including cashews. For example, according to the National Horticulture Board, in India, Cashew production has increased from 0.70 million metric tons to 0.77 million metric tons.

Moreover, the demand for cashews in Asia has persistently increased as the imports for shelled cashews augmented exponentially by over 700% from 4,321 metric tons to 30,688 metric tons in China, with Vietnam being the major import partner, according to the ITC trade map.

Emerging Markets and Export Opportunities

While traditional markets, such as the United States and Europe remain significant consumers of cashews, there is an escalating demand from emerging markets in Asia, particularly China and India. Rising affluence, urbanization, and Westernization of diets in these regions are bolstering the consumption of cashews as a premium snack and ingredient, creating export opportunities for cashew-producing countries. For example, Goa Forest Development Corporation proposed a cashew festival to boost cashew cultivation in the state and make Goa self-sufficient in cash crop production in the next 5 to 10 years.

Moreover, the Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare virtually inaugurated the 'silver jubilee building' of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)-Directorate of Cashew Research, Puttur, Karnataka. The structure is regarded as a new dimension in the Council's vision of empowering and benefiting the agricultural community, which will aid in advancing the research on the cashew crop.
