    Cashew was introduced to India by the Portuguese about 400 years ago. It plays an important role in the Indian economy as it act as foreign exchange earner. The quality of agricultural produce brought to the market by the farmers varies from lot to lot. So it is highly essential to grade the produce on scientific lines, inorder to get remunerative prices. So the present study was undertaken to develop grade standard, study quality price relationship, procurement, processing and marketing management of cashew processing units in North District of Goa. Out of 42 units in North District of Goa, 15 units were selected randomly. The primary data was collected through personal interview for the year 1999-2000. Laboratory analysis, indexing, stepwise multiple regression analysis and tabular presentation were employed for data analysis. Five grade standards were developed for cashewnut based on composite index. The results based on price quality relation brought out that number of nuts, moisture percentage and cutting test reduced the prices and these factors explained 95 per cent variation. In present study only two pattern of procurement of cashewnut were followed. The procurement was maximum in the month of May followed by April. The total cost of cariying inventory was higher for large units (Rs. 526.92 per quintal) then small and medium size units. The total cost of cashew kernel production in cashew processing units was Rs. 4063.22 per quintal. While net returns was Rs. 125.78 per quintal. On an average maximum quantity of cashew kernels were marketed through distributor and the cost of marketing was high in the same (Rs. 98.36/tin). The major problems faced by the processors were non-availability of raw nuts, improper grading of raw nuts and high working capital.

The seasonal indices of arrivals and prices of potato showed seasonality in all markets. The market integration model revealed high level of integration between all the markets. The unawareness and non availability of Package of Practice books was considerably high among all the farmers. Farmers were satisfied with timely and adequate availability of potato seed tubers in the state. Farmers opined absorption of all nutrients by first tuber as reason for non uniform tubers while scientist claimed it to genetic nature.
