Cashew nut plantations are found in which districts of Andhra Pradesh?

Srikakulam and Vizianagaram
East and West Godavari
Kurnool and Anantapur
Nellore and Prakasam

The correct answer is: a) Srikakulam and Vizianagaram.

Cashew nut plantations are found in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, such as Srikakulam and Vizianagaram. These districts have a tropical climate with an average temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and an annual rainfall of 1,000-2,000 mm. The soil in these districts is also suitable for cashew nut cultivation.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • East and West Godavari are not coastal districts. They are located in the central part of Andhra Pradesh.
  • Kurnool and Anantapur are also not coastal districts. They are located in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh.
  • Nellore and Prakasam are located in the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh, but they are not as well-suited for cashew nut cultivation as Srikakulam and Vizianagaram.
