"Cashew Nuts: Transforming agricultural potential into an industrial engine for African youth."

The Challenge of Local Processing

West Africa has become the world's leading producer of raw cashew nuts. However, the local processing rate remains low. SAPCCA 2027 focuses on accelerating industrialization so that added value directly benefits producing countries.

Cashew processing is not limited to shelling. It includes the valorization of by-products such as CNSL (Cashew Nut Shell Liquid), used in the chemical industry, offering a unique opportunity for economic diversification.

"Cashew is the ultimate inclusion sector, capable of generating thousands of jobs for women and youth in rural areas."
