The cashew tree is cultivated in the tropics between 25°N and 25°S, and is well-adapted to hot

lowland areas with a pronounced dry season, where the mango and tamarind trees also thrive.

 The traditional cashew tree is tall (up to 14 m) and takes three years from planting before it
starts production, and eight years before economic harvests can begin. More recent breeds,
such as the dwarf cashew trees, are up to 6 m tall, and start producing after the first year, with
economic yields after three years. The cashew nut yields for the traditional tree are about 0.25
metric tons per hectare, in contrast to over a ton per hectare for the dwarf variety. Grafting and
other modern tree management technologies are used to further improve and sustain cashew nut
yields in commercial orchards.
basis of need alone (e.g. most disability benefits).[6][7] The International Labour
Organization defines social security as covering support for those in old age, support for the
maintenance of children, medical treatment, parental and sick
leave, unemployment and disability benefits, and support for sufferers of occupational injury.[8][9]
More broadly, welfare may also encompass efforts to provide a basic level of well-being through
free or subsidized social services such as healthcare, education, vocational training and public
housing.[10][11] In a welfare state, the State assumes responsibility for the health, education, and
welfare of society, providing a range of social services such as those described. [11]
The first codified universal government welfare was instituted in the 7th century (634 CE) in the
time of the Rashidun caliph Umar.[12] The first welfare state was Imperial Germany (1871–1918),
where the Bismarck government introduced social security in 1889.[13] In the early 20th century,
the United Kingdom introduced social security around 1913, and adopted the welfare state with
the National Insurance Act 1946, during the Attlee government (1945–51).[11] In the countries of
western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, social welfare is mainly provided by the
government out of the national tax revenues
