摘要：Aims: This study aimed to analysethe growth rate of export and import of raw cashew nuts and Cashew Kernels in terms of quantity and value in India and to carry out the economic analysis and evaluate investment efficiency of Mechanised and partially mechanised processing units in the Kanyakumari District.Study design:Purposive random sampling is used.Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Kanyakumari District ofTamil Nadu in February 2022. Data were also collected from the official website of DCCD(Directorate of Cashew and Cocoa Development) and the UNCTAD(United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) special issue on cashew nuts.Methodology:The growth rate of exports of cashew kernels and import of raw cashew nuts in terms of quantity and value is calculated using CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) and the instability index has also been calculated using Cuddy Della Valle Index(CDVI). Economic analysis of cashew processing units was calculated by categorizing processing units into mechanized and partially mechanized units. 10 samples in each category were selected randomly and analyses like gross returns, net returns, payback period, and break-even point were carried out.Results:The study lead to many important findings as follows. The CAGR of export of cashew kernels in terms of quantity and value is found to be -2.27% and 5.19% respectively. .
