Kollam has remained the cashew capital of the world since 1930s. However high cost of production existing in Kollam due to limited mechanisation and higher minimum wages, stiff competition on cost front from East Africa and Southeast Asia in international perspective and Tamil Nadu and East India in domestic perspective are putting a lot of pressure over cashew processing sector of Kollam in recent times.
