Union minister of state for commerce Jairam Ramesh has revealed that the Centre has accorded in-principle approval for his proposal to establish a separate cashewnut board. Speaking to media here on Friday, the minister said that he recommended that the proposed board must be located out of Kerala, since the state accounts less than 10% of cashewnut plantations. ?Andhra has enhanced its cashew production by using NREGA and reached the status of second largest state in the country,? Ramesh pointed out.
