The cashew apple halwa prepared by Canute Aranha of Mulki and exhibited at a cashew mela in Ullal. It was the training on making value addition to cashew apple, at the government’s Krishi Vignana Kendra (KVK) in Mangaluru, that prompted him to manufacture the products. He can extract 10-12 litres of cashew apple juice at a time from his version of juice extractor which he exhibited at a cashew mela organised by Agriculture and Horticulture Research Station at Ullal on Saturday. Ravindra S. Patil, scientist (horticulture), KVK, said that after extracting the juice the residue of cashew apple could be used for bio-gas production. Canute Aranha of Kilpadi near Mulki owns three acres of cashew plantation and also has his own version of a cashew juice extractor, costing about ?32,000.
