From November to the present, Sofala province has sold more than 8,000 tonnes of cashew nuts. Compared to last year, there was an increase of 6,000 tonnes.
The head of the Sofala Executive Council, Lourenço Bulha, emphasised the socio-economic impact that cashew cultivation is having on the province’s producers.
‘This consultation will allow us, among other things, to discuss ideas for the industrialisation of cashew and the competitiveness of the cashew value chain, resulting from increased production, productivity and quality of cashew nuts, aimed at the consumer. Cashew cultivation plays an important role in the country’s economy, for rural families who derive income, employment and food security from it,’ he said.
Lourenço Bulha was speaking this Saturday, in the city of Beira, at a meeting to discuss the proposed regulation of the Cashew Law.
