Gain direct, broker-free access to European end-buyers, unlock Ivorian government incentives, and maximize your profit margin.
Many cashew processing plants in Côte d'Ivoire operate at a fraction of their installed capacity due to a lack of direct market access and working capital. Selling through intermediaries severely compresses margins, while missing formal export compliance means leaving local government processing subsidies (400 FCFA/kg) on the table. To achieve profitable scale, a direct connection to Dutch and European buyers is essential.
