5. CCaasshheeww PPrriicciinngg
Raw cashew nut prices range between INR 50 to 90 per kg in
India. The imported raw nut prices range between INR 53
and 76 per kg during 2013 (from January 2013 to December
2013). Cashew kernel prices generally were in the range of
USD 3.20 per lb to 3.45 per lb (W320 grade) during these
periods. Prices of RCNs are influenced by crop scenario in
all the major origins including African countries, which
determines availability in addition to other factors like
exchange rates of currencies, export duties for raw nuts,
global financial crisis, etc. Again raw nut prices influence
kernel prices, which are also moved by demand factors.
