The same is true for the cashew nut agribusiness in Wonogiri because Wonogiri Regency is the leading producer of cashew (Anacardium occindintale) in Central Java Province with production approaching 90% of the total production in Central Java. Therefore, it is necessary to study the value chain of cashew nut production as the main commodity driving the economy of Wonogiri Regency along with the actors involved, critical points, and obstacles in it so that the objectives of this research can be achieved. With a qualitative descriptive approach, this research makes more use of field observations and surveys, and primary data is the main data source. The results obtained are that obstacles are still found in each value chain both at the input, production, collection, processing, and marketing stages, but efforts to overcome obstacles have been formulated since input, namely through efforts to strengthen institutional systems and farmer’s group management, product diversification and produce derivative products, as well as coaching and mentoring managerial governance, accounting and marketing techniques for cashew agribusiness actors.

Hal yang sama juga terjadi pada agribisnis jambu mete di Wonogiri karena Kabupaten Wonogiri merupakan produsen utama jambu mete (Anacardium occindintale) di Provinsi Jawa Tengah dengan produksi mendekati 90% dari total produksi di Jawa Tengah. Oleh karena itu, perlu dikaji rantai nilai produksi jambu mete sebagai komoditas utama penggerak perekonomian Kabupaten Wonogiri beserta para aktor yang terlibat, titik kritis, dan hambatan di dalamnya agar tujuan dari penelitian ini dapat tercapai. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini lebih banyak menggunakan observasi lapangan dan survei, dan data primer sebagai sumber data utama. Hasil yang
