                    [Title] => Mechanized sheller boosts cashew nut industry
                    [Summary] => Palawan, the country’s largest cashew grower, stands to benefit considerably from the development of an automatic cashew nut sheller.


In times past, Palawan cashew producers were deprived of the added value in processing the nuts because the bulk of the production was shipped out of the province and processed in Metro Manila.

While the setup might be considered advantages to the farmers since their produce were immediately converted to cash, there was no opportunity for profit and employment among the cashew nut processors.
