Value-chain gaps

Money this district loses today

Raw output sold cheap, value added elsewhere — each gap below is an opening for a local business.

Raw cashew → direct-from-farm retail brand

Unverified
Raw 90%Processed 10%

Like Cuddalore, the cluster's cashew output mostly ships as bulk kernels at wholesale prices. A direct-from-farm branded retail play (Kallakurichi-anchored, Madurai/Chennai/Bangalore D2C) captures meaningful margin upside on a low-capex flavour-coating + branding stack.
