Giving wings to Indian cashews
\nOn World Cashew Day, Emirates spotlights the perfect inflight snack and the economic potential for Indian producers and suppliers
\nINDIA, November 2019: The sky is the limit for Indian cashews, and its reach now extends way beyond the country\u2019s shores to over 150 destinations across 85 countries and territories. A success story on World Cashew Day, celebrated every year on 23 November,<\/p>\n

In the largest international airline \u2013 Emirates \u2013 and the largest cashew producer in the world \u2013 India. It is also a story about the meticulous efforts of an airline to cater to the preferences and needs of its passengers.
\nEvery year, India exports over 80,000 tonnes of cashew kernels, valued at more than US$900 million. Around 22% of this revenue comes from cashew exports to the UAE, where Emirates is based. In 2017-18, UAE imported 21% of India\u2019s total cashew exports and became the largest importer of the nut.<\/p>\n

\"Emirates<\/a>
\nEmirates uses this popular buttery nut extensively in its international and regionally inspired cuisine, gracing its sumptuous dishes in many avatars – whole, sliced, and as paste.<\/p>\n

Whether used as a delicious base or as a sizzling garnish, cashews lend its distinctive taste and flavour to Emirates\u2019 dishes from butter chicken, khaju badam diya macher and pongal to shahi paneer, murgh korma and many more. Across the straits, Sri Lankans can enjoy it in a potato and cashew curry and as devilled cashews.
\nThe airline specially prepares masala cashews, Indian style, sourced from Tamil Nadu to get the perfect snack that is neither greasy nor sticky for its First and Business Class passengers.<\/p>\n

These snacks can be enjoyed by passengers in their spacious, well-appointed seats, drink in hand or working at their laptops, and at the luxurious Onboard Lounge on the A380s.
\nEvery year, Emirates serves around 33 tonnes of masala cashews around its global network, and 125 tonnes mixed nuts of which cashew is a key ingredient, besides almonds, pistachios and macadamia.<\/p>\n

This is not counting the tonnes of cashews the airline buys to include in its regional and international dishes.
\nWhile cashews cross the seven seas mainly by ocean freight, Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of the airline, steps in quickly to transport urgent shipments.<\/p>\n

This year for example, SkyCargo transported more than 50,000kgs of cashews from Kochi to Los Angeles during the months April to October. Indian cashews on Emirates\u2019 global services of 159 destinations has piqued interest, created awareness and more opportunities for Indian farmers and industry.<\/p>\n
