Setting Up a Cashew Nut Factory in Tanzania
Tanzania is a major East African cashew grower that exports much of its crop raw. Local processing plants can capture that value and create jobs at origin.
In short
Tanzania is one of Africa’s largest raw cashew nut producers, yet historically exports much of its crop unprocessed. Building processing factories in Tanzania keeps the value — and the jobs — at origin. A Tanzanian plant needs the same essentials as any modern line: raw-nut supply (strong locally), a building with power, water and shell-fired energy, the right machinery and automation level, labour and financing. TTQ supplies, installs and supports plants across Africa, and can revive idle Tanzanian factories as well as build new ones.
