Cashew nut fruits have a big waste problem that needs solving.

This is something I've thought about and I'm a little confused that's why I saw a need to make a video. It's both educative and a chance to ask questions.

Well from my research on Google Gemini, I found out that some use it for fresh fruit juice and alcoholic drinks. It tastes great but a lot of farmers barely know how to take advantage of that.

Besides the juice, is there something any Steemian is aware of, which would be a good use case for cashew fruits?

The Cashew farms may bring not only the sales of the nuts but visitors to see the beautiful fruits. Beautification should not be the only use case for the fruit parts. When you see the cashew farm, the colorful cashew fruits always cover the farm ground, ripe but left to rot.

Most of the farmers only care about the cashew nuts which grow hard under the fruits. The nuts get sold and the fruits get thrown.

Cashew fruit wastage of this magnitude is pretty much a customary practice every harvest season. Another problem I've noticed is how fast they rot. Indeed the juicy cashew fruits are sweet but they spoil too quickly and that is primarily what make the hard nuts a more commercially viable product for a lot of the farmers.

If only the local juice processing and fruit delivery companies with their big processing infrastructure could do it but they're usually slow to develop. If a small factory could be set up at the roadside of the farm, the fruit could be juiced instead of wasted. That'll be more profits. You'd be surprised that a good beverage out of this could give more profits than the nuts itself.

A processing plant could also bring good health and good jobs to the area. They'd be getting fresh fruit beverage, although I see the positive side of the cashew rot. It adds to the nutrients of the soil but if you're looking at it solely from a profit perspective, I think finding a use for the cashew besides rot, is a better option.

If you need more cash and you already have a cash crop, what you need is creativity.
