Another way of generating money from a cashew business, is:

Selling cashew nuts: The primary way to generate revenue in a cashew business is by selling the nuts themselves. Cashews can be sold as raw or roasted, and there is a growing demand for high-quality, organic cashews in many markets.

Processing cashews: In addition to selling raw or roasted cashews, you can also process the nuts into other products, such as cashew butter, cashew milk, or cashew flour. These products can be sold for a higher price than raw or roasted cashews and may appeal to customers with dietary restrictions.
