The cashew tree is indigenous to Brazil's northeastern region. It was introduced to East Africa and India by Portuguese missionaries in the late 16th century, where it thrived at low elevations near the coast. The tree yields wood for products such as shipping crates, boats, and charcoal, as well as a gum similar to gum Arabic, which is useful in local economies. The resin found in the fruit's shells is used as a pesticide, in the production of polymers, and in traditional medicine. Although most cultivation is focused on the valuable seed harvest, the cashew apple is used in beverages, jams, and jellies in the area.
