On Monday, November 16, 2026, President John Dramani Mahama is set to officially open the Nadkansco Cashew Processing Factory in Techiman, Ghana. This facility, funded by the Ghana Export-Import Bank (Ghana EXIM Bank), boasts the capacity to process an impressive 30,000 metric tonnes of cashew annually. The plant is expected to run continuously, contributing significantly to the local economy.
Mr. Sylvester Adinam Mensah, the CEO of Ghana EXIM Bank, visited the site prior to the commissioning to ensure it was ready for operation. He expressed satisfaction with the factory's progress and confidence that it would boost economic activity and create jobs in Techiman and surrounding areas. The factory's aim is to strengthen Ghana's cashew value chain by decreasing the reliance on raw nut exports and promoting local processing before the commodity is sent to global markets.
This investment aligns with Ghana EXIM Bank's broader strategy to promote industrial development, increase export capacity, and generate foreign exchange through adding value to locally produced goods.
