This year we have seen another significant increase of our marketed volumes. Not only our own factories (A-route) have shown a good increase, but also we have been able to help farmers by buying their crops for processing in Asia (C-route), whilst other buyers were holding back.

Also our B-route (African processors) has grown significantly, partly as a result of growing volumes from existing local factories, partly from newly built factories, in Ivory Coast in particular. African cashew nut kernels are appreciated by the kernel buyers and so is our value proposition towards African processors where their finished product is marketed through Nuts2 Netherlands.
