Our processes
It takes a long way to get the cashew into your hand. The journey from the farm in Tanzania to the shelf of a shop takes a long time and involves several processing steps.
In our processing factory at Mbagala Industrial Area/Dar es Salaam we handle more than 2,000 tons of Organic Raw Cashew Nuts per year. Our team includes more than 320 people who work in different sections from shelling, drying, peeling up to sorting and grading. (s. fotos above)
Our organic certified farmers are organized in a so called “Organic Grower Group”. Most of the farmers are very small scale farmers with only a few acres of land.
Our Demo & Research Farm at Vikindu/Vianzi in Mkuranga district is a location where we started various activities to demonstrate innovative ways of organic cashew nut farming. We also started research about pest control, farming technics and new ways of high density plantation.
Our Company has a Organic Certificate according to EU and North America Regulations.
Certified by ECOCERT SA – TZ-BIO-154
