Tanzania Cashew Sales Hit by Reduced Demand in India, Vietnam
Total output for the season, which runs from September to April, is about 160,000 tons, Ayub Mbawa, acting director- general of the board, said in a phone interview today from Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital.
“The demand among processors in countries like India and Vietnam, where our cashew nuts are exported, has not been very good,” Mbawa said. “Our immediate concern is for the farmers to get paid, because they already sold the crop to cooperatives, but some have received part payment,” Mbawa said.
Tanzania is Africa’s largest cashew-nut grower after Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau, and is the world’s ninth-biggest producer, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization.
