African nations have been urged by the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, to expand investment in cashew processing and value addition in order to capitalize on greater economic gains from the crop. In a speech delivered on his behalf, Opoku emphasized that Africa cannot afford to continue exporting substantial volumes of raw cashew nuts while other regions reap the advantages of processing and value enhancement.
Opoku delivered this message at the commencement of the 2026 African Cashew Alliance (ACA) Annual Cashew Conference and Exhibition in Accra yesterday.
