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

Cashew cultivation in Assam has expanded steadily due to the state’s favourable climate and increasing market demand. Regions such as Karbi Anglong, Hailakandi, Cachar, Goalpara, and Dhubri are key cashew-growing areas. The crop is valued for its nutrient rich kernels, long shelf life, and diverse uses in food, confectionery, and snack industries. Cashew farming provides an important livelihood opportunity for small and marginal farmers, while local processing units help generate employment and strengthen rural economies. With growing domestic and export demand, cashew offers significant potential for large scale processing, packaging, and branding in Assam.
