Dear Tom Thanks for that. The reason there are no cashew nut exports from Liberia is because they have not yet been shown how to deal with the nut covering. The trees were planted by a roving tribe known as the Crowshaw (crosha?) within living memory. They were planted deliberately as an agricultural project to give people access to the fruit. They are not native to Liberia.
>And in Brazil: Contact dermatitis caused by smoke from cashew nut shell oil burning ... Yup. That's the problem. There was a power station north of Maputo that was fired with cashew nuts and some of the local pottery is still fired that way. The kiln operators say it has a very high heat.
