The African Cashew Alliance (ACA) has intensified efforts to unlock the full economic potential of the cashew nut industry in Kenya and nine other countries on the continent.

The latest efforts include equipping actors with practical skills in production, processing, value addition and marketing in a bid to boost competitiveness, create jobs and increase the livelihoods of rural communities.

ACA seeks to strengthen expertise across the cashew value chain from policy, production and processing to marketing through a blend of theoretical and hands-on training targeting key players in the sector so as to revive production of the ‘white gold.’
