The Cashew tree, Anacardium occidentale, generally considered the native to the northern part of South America, is now found in many tropical areas. The English name “cashew” is derived from the Portuguese name of similar pronunciation, ‘caju’, which in turn comes from the Tupi-Indian word ‘acaju’. After India it was introduced into South-Eastern Asia and, according to Agnoloni and Giuliani (1977), it arrived in Africa during the second half of the XVI century, first on the east coast and then on the west and lastly in the Islands. The cashew later spread to Australia and some parts of the North-American Continent. Finally, its present diffusion can be geographically located between 31ºNorth latitude and 31ºSouth latitude, both as the wild species and under cultivation. Cashew in India, is one of the major export earning crop, which accrues nearly Rs. 2500 crore of export earning.

This golden fibre is spun into a breath-taking range of textured yarn and woven into a spectrum of colourful floor coverings. The husks separated from the nuts, are retted in lagoons up to ten months. The retted husks are then beaten with wooden mallets manually to produce the golden fiber. The fiber is later spun into yarn on traditional spinning wheels called "Ratts", ready for dyeing and weaving into myriad shades of floor coverings. A score of varieties/grades of coir yarn are produced and each variety is associated with certain specific characteristics, used for industrial, agricultural and domestic applications. The exhaustive range of floor coverings, hardwearing door mats, durable Mattings and rugs, crush-proof pile carpets, heavy flowered Mourzouks, etc. in a variety of dimensions enhance the elegance of the place of choice.
