Abstract
Cashew (Anacardium occidentale. L, family Anacardiaceae) often referred as “Gold mine of waste land”. The primitive reason to cultivate cashew is to prevent soil erosion as it binds the soil particles firmly. The cashew nuts are loaded with lots of nutrition. The present investigation “Production and marketing constraints faced by cashew growers in Ariyalur district of Tamilnadu” was designed to study constraints by the cashew in the aspects of cultivation and marketing. Constraint analysis is rapidly becoming an integral part of extension research. Without an analysis of the limitations, it will be difficult to disseminate the necessary technologies to the agricultural community. A sample size of 300 respondents was selected by using proportionate random sampling technique. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. The significant production constraints reported were, lack of training in cashew cultivation (90.33 per cent), high labour cost (78.33 per cent) and the important marketing constraints reported by the respondents were exploitation by middleman (95.67 per cent), high commission charges (88.33 per cent) and uncertainity of market (76.00 per cent).
