It is estimated that one ton of dry cashews can give 250-300 kilos of cashew nuts and 700-750 kilos of cashew nut shells from which 154 kilos of cashew oil can be produced. Cashew oil is an important material in many industries. It is used to make high-quality adhesive materials, binder for seagoing vessels paint, and laminated and heat-resistant materials. It can also be used in the electrical and electronic industries. Most companies focus on making cashew oil semi-finished products, or Cardanol oil essence. Though Carnadol has high value, companies still focus on making cashew nut or shell oil because Carnadol has a short expiry date, while the investment rate and the risks are high. Cashew nut shells, considered rubbish by many people, turn out to be a material which may create a market worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
