Launch of Cashew Recipe Book

On 07 April 2023, on the sidelines of the 4th edition of the International Exhibition of Equipment and Technologies of Cashew Processing (SIETTA) held the official launch of the cashew recipe book at the Palace of Culture in Abidjan. The Director General of the Cotton and Cashew Council, Dr.Adama Coulibaly launched the cashew recipe book.

Indeed, this recipe book developed by GIZ/MOVE-ComCashew in collaboration with international and national actors, notably the Council of Cotton and Cashew Nuts (CCA), aims to introduce readers to a variety of practical recipes based on almonds and cashew apples, in order to increase demand and consumption. This recipe book originally published in English includes twenty-eight (28) recipes from different regions.

The launch took place right after the CasheWomen training, which was also a real success.

We were honoured to have among our guests Dr Adama Coulibaly, Director of the Cotton and Cashew Board, Ms Alimata Soumahoro, Head of Product Promotion Department of the Cotton and Cashew Board and Ms Swapna Gowda of CashewInfo and Amy Fall.

Several women who came from elsewhere to attend the CasheWomen training were able to take part in the launch. This was an opportunity for them to learn more about the benefits of cashews and discover the different recipes.

Mrs Mary Adzanyo, Deputy Director of the MOVE (GIZ) project gave a very nice speech during which she indicated the benefits of cashew and encourage its consumption.

Then, Dr.Adama Coulibaly proceeded to the official launch of the cashew recipe book. He first emphasized the nutritional value of cashews and the benefits of its consumption on the human body. In addition, according to him, the consumption of walnuts and cashew apples must have nutritional, dietary and even health benefits.
