So how much does a jin of cashews cost now? What are its growing conditions?

I. Introduction to cashews:

1. Where do cashews grow?

The cashew is the ripe fruit of the cashew tree. Generally, when the tree grows to 10 m, it first produces fruit, and only after the fruit grows larger does the cashew grow on the fruit, and the fruit above the cashew gradually grows bigger, making people think it is the main character.

2. What are the cashew producing areas?

There are many cashew producing areas, both domestic and abroad. Abroad, they come from Vietnam, India, Tanzania, Brazil, Mozambique and other places, among which northeastern Brazil is the place of origin. Domestically, they come from Taiwan, China, Hainan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places.

II. How much does a jin of cashews cost now?

Cashew market prices vary. Generally, they range from several tens of yuan to over a hundred yuan per jin, with specific differences depending on variety, market, packaging method and selling time. For example, at Xiaohuojian Food Store in Baohe District, Hefei, a 150g pack of cashews costs about 18.9 yuan; at Guangxi Nanning Fangzhuo Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., a 450g can of salt-roasted cashews costs about 37.7 yuan; and at Shenzhen Yangyi Food Co., Ltd., a 130g pack of original-flavor roasted cashews sells for about 26.8 yuan. So the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.

III. What are the growing conditions for cashews?

1. Soil requirements: What soil is suitable for planting?

Cashews do not have high soil requirements. Generally, they can grow healthily in loose, fertile soil with good drainage and air permeability, so when choosing soil, try to choose loam or sandy loam for planting. However, they are afraid of waterlogging, so try not to choose low-lying areas, or in the rainy season, take good drainage measures.

2. Light requirements: What are the light requirements?

Cashews are light-loving plants, so when choosing a site, be sure to plant them in a sunny area. If there is no light for a long time or insufficient light, cashews will not bloom or bear fruit, resulting in poor growth. Generally, giving 4 to 6 hours of light per day and 1500 to 2500 hours of light throughout the year is best.

3. Temperature requirements: What temperature is best for growth?

Cashews are tropical fruit trees and are not cold-tolerant. Generally, they grow best at 24 to 28 degrees. If the temperature is below 17 degrees, frost damage will occur; if below 15 degrees, they will freeze to death. One- or two-year-old saplings will dry up and die, and saplings three years old and above will freeze to death. Therefore, in winter, take good warmth measures to prevent them from freezing to death.

4. Water requirements: How to water?

Cashews have high water requirements, but they are not suitable for growing in waterlogged areas or places with a high groundwater table, so when choosing a site, try to avoid planting in low-lying land to prevent root rot caused by water accumulation. Generally, planting in places with annual rainfall of 1000 to 1600 mm is best. In addition, take good drainage measures during the plum rain season.

The above is a detailed introduction to the market price and growing conditions of cashews. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
