Cashews

Cashews

Processed cashews from Assam cater to premium snack, confectionery, and export markets through roasting, grading, and packaging.

Cashew processing in Assam focuses on shelling, peeling, grading, roasting, flavouring, and vacuum packaging to produce value-added products for snacks, sweets, bakery items, and culinary preparations. Value addition enhances market value and enables participation in national and export supply chains. Cashew products attract applicable GST rates, while exports are zero-rated and may be eligible for RoDTEP incentives. Imports of raw cashews or processing machinery may attract customs duties, with food processing incentives helping to reduce capital costs. Compliance with FSSAI requirements, international food safety norms, and grading standards is required. For exports, adherence to Codex standards, aflatoxin limits, labelling, and packaging requirements is essential.
