16. Factors Affecting Crop Rainfall during monsoon season Winter temperatures and dryness Post flowering rain showers Post flowering temperatures Pest Active Farming

17. Rainfall 2015 was a good year. November December saw some rain.

18. Winter Usual winter starts early Nov. 2015 winter set in late Nov

19. Flowering Flowering delayed by 3 to 4 weeks in South West crop Reports of Early flowering in Orissa and Maharastra. Flowering is Good

20. Temperature Temperatures need to be Cool in night and moderate in the afternoon

21. Clouds and Humidity Clouds and humidity conditions responsible for flowers surviging or drying up

22. Pest Tea Mosquitoes strongly affect Cashew Crop. Certain cloudy, humid conditions promote Tea Mosquitoe population leading to crop shortage.

23. Active Farming Pruning Fertilizing Irrigating Tending Pest Control Harvest and practices Overall Cost vs Yield Competing Crop Yield - Rubber Mango Tobacco Sugar Cane

24. 2016 Scenario Flowering is delayed in some varieties and areas Rest of the Weather conditions on track Farmer Interest is Up since Competing crops are down RCN arrival is STEADY RCN quality is good due to Delay! Slightly Delayed Normal Crop Predicted

25. India RCN Future Cashew Manufacturers Associations of Karnataka, Goa, Maharastra, AP, Odisha etc promoting cashew crop Distribution of saplings Sapling DEMAND is HIGH Sapling SHORTAGE CASHEW APPLE thrust KSCDC Auction UP 20% AP Forest Autction UP 100%

26. Conclusion Domestic Cashew consumption increasing Processing Capacity in India Demand will push crop growth Farmer interest is Rejuvenated Growth rate will be maintained Vision - 2Million MT by 2030
