Cashew is picked in spring and Goa's heavy monsoon follows soon after. Growers, farmer groups and processors in Pernem, Bicholim and Sattari need a place to dry raw nuts properly and keep them dry until they sell or process them.

This business runs a concrete yard for sun-drying raw cashew nuts after harvest, and a dry, pest-proof warehouse that keeps them bagged until the owner sells or processes them. In the empty months it can hold arecanut, copra and rice.
North Goa's cashew plateaus in Pernem, Bicholim and Sattari are picked in a short spring season, and the monsoon arrives soon after. Nuts not dried well and kept dry can spoil. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for North Goa lists ₹10 crore of credit potential for storage, warehouses and cold storage, and says small holdings need farmer-level pooling. It also records farmer producer companies registered in Bicholim and Pernem, which are organised groups to approach.
You need land with clear title and truck access, a raised-floor shed with good airflow, scales, moisture meters and regular pest control. Registering with the national warehousing regulator can let banks lend against stored stock; check first which Goan crops qualify. The hard part is filling the space: a warehouse earns only when it is full, and many growers and processors already store nuts at home or in their own godowns. The plan also flags unclear land titles as a serious problem in the district.
Your customers are the farmer companies, the district's cashew processing units, and traders at the Mapusa market.
