Cashew Fest Goa 2025 kicks off with pride and promise.

17 May, 2025

Cashew Fest Goa 2025 kicked off with great enthusiasm, marking a proud moment for the state and its farming community. Inaugurated with a sense of pride and purpose, the festival honors Goa’s iconic crop — the cashew — and the hardworking hands that cultivate it.

This year’s fest holds even more significance as “Goa Cashew” has earned its well-deserved Geographical Indication (GI) tag, giving it a distinguished place on the global map. This recognition not only validates the unique flavor and quality of Goa’s cashews but also opens new doors for international trade and export.

From showcasing traditional roasting techniques and culinary delights to promoting value-added products and agro-entrepreneurship, Cashew Fest 2025 presents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. It reflects the state’s commitment to building a cashew hub of excellence through modern processing units, skill training, and government-backed support under the #SwayampurnaGoa mission.

This celebration is not just about a crop — it’s about empowering farmers, encouraging entrepreneurship, and fueling rural growth. Cashew Fest Goa 2025 is a testament to how focused leadership and community effort can together pave the way for a thriving, self-reliant economy rooted in local pride.
