The cashew tree is a tree native to the northeastern region of Brazil that usually reaches a height of 5 to 12 meters, but can reach up to 20 meters in ideal conditions. Different from what it may seem, the fruit of the cashew tree is the nut, and the soft, pear-shaped part, called peduncle, is a pseudo-fruit. In addition to the fruit and its stalk, the cashew bark is also used as a tonic and astringent. The trunk, in turn, produces a yellow resin, known as \"cashew gum,\" which can replace gum arabic and is used in the paper and pharmaceutical industries. The cashew tree can be used for everything, but the cashew, fruit, and pseudo-fruit are the big highlights.<\/p>\n

India, Vietnam, and Ivory Coast are the world's largest producers. Even being the world's largest producer, with 25% of the market, India can not meet its domestic market. In Brazil the product is sensitive to exchange rate variations, even so, about 68% of the cashew kernel production is exported to the United States, which also imports from India and Vietnam in a volume of about 40%.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Brazil, a movement mediated by NGOs has been able to bring together small producers and processors around quality improvement, with noteworthy results.<\/p>\n

The traditionally hot processed cashew juice, which demands the use of preservatives and stabilizers, has now been cold processed, which maintains its natural characteristics, representing a significant advance, with the possibility of participating in the international market of natural ready to drink products, and may become part of the International Juice Blends Matrix, which may represent a substantial increase in demand.<\/p>\n
