India may possibly import rice from Thailand

Traditional rice exporter India is looking at importing rice from Thailand and Vietnam through diplomatic deals. This would be the first time in 20 years that India imports the grain.Three state-run trading firms last month floated rice import tenders totaling 30,000 tonne and received 18 bids ranging from USD 373 to USD 599 per tonne.
Government officials on Monday said bids submitted for supplying rice to PEC would be valid until November 23. But the validity of bids received by STC and MMTC expired on Tuesday, officials, who did not wish to be named, with global trading firms, which participated in the tenders, said they did not receive any communication either from MMTC or STC.
Although India has ample grain stocks, this year's poor monsoon has raised doubts about the output of summer-sown crops the government on November 3 said summer-planted rice output could record a bigger-than-expected fall of 18% to 69.45 million tonne compared with the previous year. Some private Indian firms have sealed deals to import 10,000 tonne of wheat, for the first time in two years.

Cashew tree it is a small evergreen tree growing to 10-12m (~32 ft) tall, with a short, often irregularly shaped trunk. The leaves are spirally arranged, leathery textured, elliptic to obovate, 4 to 22 cm long and 2 to 15 cm broad, with a smooth margin. The flowers are produced in a panicle or corymbs up to 26 cm long, each flower small, pale green at first then turning reddish, with five slender, acute petals 7 to 15 mm long.

What appears to be the fruit of the cashew tree is an oval or pear-shaped accessory fruit or false fruit that develops from the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the cashew apple, better known in Central America as "jocose de mar anon", it ripens into a yellow and/or red structure about 5–11 cm long. It is edible, and has a strong "sweet" smell and a sweet taste. The pulp of the cashew apple is very juicy, but the skin is fragile, making it unsuitable for transport. It is often used as a flavor in ague fresco.

The true fruit of the cashew tree is a kidney or boxing-glove shaped drupe that grows at the end of the pseudo fruit. The drupe develops first on the tree, and then the peduncle expands into the pseudo fruit. Within the true fruit is a single seed, the cashew nut. Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the fruit of the cashew is a seed.
