Ghana’s cashew sector requires coordinated and urgent measures - ACPG
ACPG Holds Interactive Capacity Building Training on PR and Advocacy
The Association of Cashew Processors Ghana (ACPG) recently hosted a capacity building training on public relations and advocacy, involving 24 industry professionals. This event, supported by various international organizations, aimed to equip participants with essential skills to enhance their industry representation and influence. The training, described as interactive, featured discussions on strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, communication, and digital PR.
The emphasis on value addition during the training reflects the core priorities of ACPG's broader public relations and advocacy plan. This plan identifies local processing and value addition as a top priority issue for the cashew sector. The participants, representing government institutions, processors, farmers, exporters, development partners, financial institutions, and researchers, gathered to address the pressing need for coordinated measures to strengthen Ghana's cashew industry.
Following a previous roundtable discussion on building a competitive and sustainable cashew value chain, the stakeholders identified several proposals. These include the establishment of a single national cashew policy, a significant increase in national cashew production from approximately 260,000 metric tonnes to 400,000 metric tonnes, and various initiatives to rehabilitate old farms, establish new farms, and distribute elite seedlings.
