Physico-chemical properties of apple of the 28 cashew genotypes were evaluated to identify the suitable germplasm for cashew-apple processing industry. Vengurla-6 and Vengurla-4 appeared ideal for cashew-apple processing under red and laterite zones of West Bengal. These genotypes can be successfully utilized for preparation of industrial products such as soft drinks, squash, RTS, beverages etc. and various other valueadded products. These genotypes yielded 70 l/tree juice or 4000 gallons/ha.
