(1) Introduction:

The PRO-Cashew is a USDA program implemented by CNFA in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Nigeria. The goal of the PRO-Cashew Project is to improve efficiency, quality in production, trade, and more coherent regional trade and investment policies in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Nigeria.

The PRO-Cashew project will increase and improve the productivity and profitability of smallholder- owned cashew orchards in targeted countries, through R&R capacity building and catalytic subsidies that address the deep and diverse needs of the cashew sector. PRO-Cashew will co-invest with cashew producer organizations and agri-food companies engaged as implementing partners, prioritizing investments that are easily replicable by other actors in the value chain. This intervention will strengthen buyer-supplier relationships and ultimately improve farmers’ ability to meet quantity and quality- requirements.
