Tasting and exhibition of cashew products
MOVE (The Market-Oriented Value Chains for Jobs and Growth in the ECOWAS region) is a GIZ project that seeks to promote market-oriented value chains to create jobs and income in the ECOWAS region.
One of MOVE's objectives is to increase the demand for regional products. As such, MOVE has supported two local companies to develop new cashew and rice products to increase the supply and demand for regional products. These products developed are not only innovations for the companies but also show the different possibilities of creating products using cashew derivatives.
