Ivory Coast aims to process more than half of cashew nuts locally, with a total production estimated at over 1,250,000 tons of raw nuts. The current conversion rate is stagnant at less than 25%

Côte d'Ivoire's ambition is part of an approach to creating added value based on the processing on site of a significant part of its almond nut production. Its objective is to diversify the national economy and increase economic benefits at the local level.
