🌱🌰 The #cashew sector is evolving, and at Importaco, we are leading this change. The growing demand for this #nut challenges us to redefine the industry with a focus on health, #sustainability, and economic growth. Our team has been working hard to improve the efficiency of global kernel processing and strengthen farmers' livelihoods through initiatives such as processing optimization and farmer support. We are committed to more efficient infrastructure, global quality standards, and emissions reduction while enhancing traceability, formalizing farmers' integration into the supply chain, and promoting quality certifications. Thank you to everyone involved in this process for making it possible. #SupplyChainInnovation

Reimagining the Cashew Supply Chain at Importaco – Shaping Our Roadmap to 2035. Processing volumes in Ivory Coast have grown significantly, driven by sector policies that support local processing, optimal scale, expertise, technological innovation, access to finance, and a growing buyer preference for traceable and sustainable nuts sourced directly from origin. However, the future of the cashew industry depends on our ability to redefine it—not just as a commodity, but as a driver of health, sustainability, and economic growth. Cashew demand is rising by 5-6% annually, driven by: - The rise of plant-based diets - Increased demand for healthier snacks - Consumer preference for sustainable and ethical supply chains Recently, my team and I have been verifying the efficiency of global kernel processing and cashew farm productivity. Cashew Kernel Processing: - Investments of our suppliers in processing infrastructure and trainings - Checking Industry standards (BRC, IFS, SMETA) - Efficiency improvements to reduce carbon emissions - Explaining our Quality End to End Project Farmer Livelihoods: - Strengthening traceability to enhance farmer outreach - Integrating farmers into our formal supply chain - Introducing Quality Certification standards Verifying #Quality E2E offers great insights into building stronger partnership with us @Importaco. And beyond cashews… we even had time to explore the fascinating world of #pineapples! Thanks Cynthia Uribe Castañeda, and thanks to all good work my team is doing at origen krishnaiah Vangapuru Belén Cantero Barriga with Suppliers. Thanks for all support during our trip. And finally, thanks to Irene Moreno Gómez for all smart support, in this model transformation. #Sustainability #CashewIndustry #SupplyChainInnovation #QualityE2E #AFI #Cashews #Africa #PTNPA
