What is it about?
Significant research in the cashew value chain had focussed on the profitability of cashew plantation with little literature on profitability and viability analysis of cashew seedling production. Similarly, this study provides a significant value chain job opportunity as well as literature on the choice of cashew seedlings among current and prospective end-users.

Why is it important?
The unavailability and inadequate use of cashew seedlings for propagation are part of the challenges facing the cashew sub-sector in Ghana. However, promoting investment into cashew seedling production should be based on the analysis of the profitability and viability of such a venture as well as the respective determinants of farmers' demand for the planting material.
Perspectives
This paper is a standalone work than dealt with the profitability of cashew seedlings production and choice among farmers. The paper focused on input perspective and analysed the profitability per various land size of product. This was done as such so that start up entrepreneurs that do not have enough capital can as well indulge in this activity by cultivating on the land size they can afford to realize the profit it offers.
