Cashew Value Chain
From One Crop to Multiple Global Industries.
The cashew tree represents one of the world's most versatile agricultural assets. Beyond raw cashew nuts, every part of the crop — including the kernel, shell, apple, testa and processing residues — can generate high-value products for food manufacturing, plant-based nutrition, cosmetics, renewable energy, animal feed and industrial applications.
ICBC's long-term vision is to participate across this expanding value chain while creating sustainable value for farmers, investors, partners and international markets.
