11. Issues and challenges w.r.t Export Potential of
India
• Export of Cashewnut is in a decreasing trend for Last few years.
• Reduction in Export incentive from 7% to 2%.
• High Processing cost due to increased wages & less Adaption to
Mechanization.
• Reduction in Women Labours from 4.5 lakhs to 1.5 Lakhs
