    According to the Research Outreach Station, Palawan supplies 99% of cashew nuts for the entire country.

    The most popular cashew products from Palawan are its roasted and fried cashews but the province also produces other delicacies such as cashew tarts and cashew wine.

    The Palawan agricultural experimental station is currently encouraging more farmers to embark in cashew farming by offering training and free seedlings. Report by Hazel Salas, ABS-CBN News
