Tamil Nadu cashew processors write to Piyush Goyal
The Tamil Nadu Cashew Processors and Exporters Association (TNCPEA) have sought exemption for imported raw cashew nuts from Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) clearance in customs.
In a letter to Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal , TNCPEA secretary M. Ramakrishnan said raw cashew nuts were not edible and the same were subjected to steam boiling at 8-10 PSI for about 10-20 minutes before the shell was removed. The cashew kernel with Testa (outer covering) would be heated at 65- 70 degree for about 10-11 hours before obtaining edible cashew kernel.
