WORKSHOPS/ EVENTS/TRAINING

A task force group including cashew producers, processors, and supporters was formed and will be responsible for the establishment of the cashew Federation.

The objective of the workshop was to share knowledge and information of individual actors in the cashew sub-sector, while highlighting their challenges and opportunities. During the workshop, the preliminary findings from the Cashew Working Group on the cashew data inventory and the list of value chain actors in potential provinces were also shared. The workshop was regarded as a critical event in the cashew sub-sector and gained attention from many key stakeholders.

In February 2020, a Cashew Technical Working Group was set up and led by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), with the aim of supporting the inter-ministry working group with the development of a Cashew Policy.

“The Cashew Working Group has been active since it was established in December 2018. By improving the cashew sub-sector, we want to create a positive impact on farmers’ livelihoods. To do this, the Cashew Working Group was created in the spirit of a collaborative journey – our tagline is “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success.”
