Cashew · Overview

Overview

Kernel-allocated screening for steam, drum, and manual-heavy process, plus an imported-RCN uplift.

Cashew kernel screening footprint for SME processors (shelling, peeling, grading, packing).

Screening factors for cashew kernel processors (steam / drum / manual). Cultivation allocation simplified; import RCN uplift when material. Not ISO 14067.

Knowledge Pack cashew v0.2.0. Screening only — the model does not invent kg CO₂e.

Screening assessment only. Kernel yield assumptions are simplified.
