The Souza Cashew Factory

The Souza cashew factory was begun around 15 years ago by the industrious Souza family. Just as Mangalore is synonymous with its roof tiles, so is it with cashew. Situated in Kulshekar, on the Karkala highway, this factory provides employment to 325 people. This unit mainly deals with the processing of cashew nuts. In the process of production, cashew kernels, cashew shells, cashew husk and cashew rejection are obtained. Oil is then produced at the oil mills out of the cashew shells, which are in turn used by the paint industry. It is exported mainly to countries like U.S.A., Germany etc.
