About the Scrap Market in Kollam

Kollam (Quilon), a coastal city in southern Kerala, has a scrap market driven by its cashew processing industry — the world's largest — and fishing operations. The city processes over 60% of India's cashew exports, with hundreds of cashew factories generating machinery and metal scrap. The fishing industry adds marine equipment scrap.

Cashew processing equipment scrap and marine-grade metals from the fishing fleet are Kollam's specialties. Iron from construction, copper from cashew roasting equipment, and stainless steel from food processing are also traded. Kollam's prices track the southern Kerala average, comparable to Thiruvananthapuram rates.

Key scrap areas include Chinnakada market, the cashew factory belt, and coastal dealers near the harbor. Most dealers pick up from 10 kg. Cash is standard.
