Peanuts are bushes & grown locally; cashews are trees & are imported. Makes a BIG difference in harvest quantities, availability and pricing.
"India, Vietnam, and Brazil, in that order, are the largest producers of cashew kernels; collectively they account for more than 90% of all cashew kernel exports. "

I believe it is the harvest expenses and to my understanding they throw away than what actually makes it in the bottle

Probably because peanuts usually come two to a shell, so it is half the work.
