He was visiting the Kerala State Cashew Workers Apex Industrial Cooperative Society (Capex) factory at Perumpuzha. “Cashew products will be made available at all Supplyco outlets in the State to strengthen the industry. The government will ensure market for quality assured products from Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation (KSCDC) and Capex to support the crisis-hit sector,” said the Minister.
