SUSTAINABLE CASHEW BUSINESS
Welcome!
We are revolutionizing conventional cashew production by pursuing pro-poor growth activities and disrupting the co-dependent foreign aid model. We empower small African communities, develop new value-added products, and create resilient commercial and financial channels. To achieve this, we partner with rural farmers and bring processing activities closer to their production through our innovative modular industry ‘HARAMBEE’.
