Africa in Action: Cashew Community Development
Region: West Africa
Competency: Agricultural Development
Development workers in West Africa are partnering with rural farmers to alleviate poverty through a Demonstration Farm:
- FARM – current phase with an emphasis on planting grafted cashews, researching best practices, and propagating underutilized fruit trees and perennials
- FINANCE - when the cashews produce new grafts can be propagated and distributed to farmers, coupled with loans/training in the best practices discovered
- FACTORY - once enough farmers are growing cashews, the final factory phase can be launched; this for-profit social business will generate income for local farmers by processing cashews for export
