“The current global market trends show an increasing and strong demand for cashew and Nigeria will continue to deliver its quota and remain relevant in the cashew world.”

Mrs Millicent Oare, a resource person who spoke on the huge gains in the cashew apple processing value chain, described the cashew tree as a complete tree with several economic importance.

She also noted that “Lack of knowledge and skills in the processing and marketing of cashew apple products are challenges in Nigeria.”
