slight recovery in prices over the past

regions, nuts were available in the

in quality because the producers

effectively dry and sort their products

so that they can sell them at a better

CASHEW MARKET COMMENTARIES FROM

We see the market as in something of a logjam at the moment. RCN is not moving

well and prices falling at the farm gate in West Africa as inventory and disrupted

cash flow slow down the usual supply chain. On the kernels demand side conflicting

information could add up to a similar scenario. Roasters and retailers tell us that

product off take is down or flat but import statistics tell us that import volumes are up.

If both are correct then that too adds up to inventory at destination. Inventory at

destination should mean that buyers will slow down their buying. Eventually inventory

at processors will increase unless of course they float it back upstream to RCN

traders and exporters by slowing down payments and shipments. Not enough

funding and a good crop w

Logically the place to leave the inventory of RCN is at origin but the risk is that

without infrastructure in West Africa that the product loses quality and outturn. In

cashews however the RCN supply chain is

quality is only important once it is bought. Unless something changes lower quality

and lower prices seem likely now but kernels buyers may take another tranche of

cover in June to reverse the “processing parity” d

Health Benefits

Patients with diabetes should eat these nuts every day

Just 75 grams of unsalted, hard-shell nuts will greatly improve the patient's blood

glucose control, a Canadian study shows.

Researchers from the University of Toronto analyzed 117 adults with type 2 diabetes

who were taking the drug to lower their blood sugar. Some people eat 75g of grain,

others eat 3 whole meal muffins and half eat both of them on a daily basis for 3

months. All diets of the subjects contain the same calories but the nuts provide more

unsaturated fat and less carbohydrate. The blood glucose level of the participants is

evaluated every 2 weeks.

Mixed nuts include almonds, laughing nuts, walnuts, peaches, hazelnuts, peanuts,

cashew nuts and unsalted nuts and much more.

This junk food also lowers "bad" cholesterol and lowers the level of protein involved in

heart disease, called Apo-B.The researchers believe that these findings highlight the

importance of unsaturated fats and low carbohydrate intake in the management of

type 2 diabetes.

The findings were published in the journal Diabetologia.

Lead author of the study, Dr. Mercedes Sotos-Prieto, from Ohio University, said:

"People do not need to follow a single diet plan to achieve a healthy eating

pattern.

"The essential elements of a healthy diet include high rations of fruits, vegetables,

whole grains, hard nuts and beans, and lower rations of red meat and processed

meats, Sugar beverages and refined grains, such as white rice and wheat flour.”

Replacing a piece of meat with a daily grain reduces the risk of premature death

This advice came after a study last July suggested that replacing a piece of meat

with a hardened shell daily would reduce the risk of premature death by as much as

17 percent.

A 20% improvement in diet reduces the risk of early death by 8 to 17%.

This is equivalent to replacing a piece of meat with a scoop of nuts or a tablespoon

of peanut butter each day.
