| Περίληψη: | ‘Cashew exporting industry’ is one of the traditional
resource based industries in Kerala, South India.
Though this industry has immense potential in
sustaining the export potential of the cashew industry
in the state, it has been beset with serious issues of
declining workforce engaged into the industry due to
low wages and unsafe work related factors. Of late, it
has been identified that the sustenance of the cashew
export industry requires a thorough overhauling in
terms of technological upgradation that can address the
issues of shortage of workforce on the one hand and
the reduction in wastage facilitated by the new
processing technologies. In this context, this paper
examines the relevance of technological upgradation
in sustaining the traditional resource based cashew
export industry in Kerala. The paper suggests that the
new processing technology being adopted by the
industry helps to significantly improve the export
performance of the industry by way of increasing the
quality of processed cashew along with employment
benefits to the rural households. The paper also
suggests that technological upgradation with minimum
loss of employment opportunities can be an effective
model for sustaining the traditional resource based
industry in the global context, with significant benefits
in terms of export earnings while sustaining the
livelihoods of the rural labour households. 4.16 area
