It is a question of bringing the actors and professionals of the cashew sector of the Béré region to be part of the vision of the Ivorian Government to group each agricultural sector into an interprofessional organization, in order to better defend their rights, as well as benefit from better processing and taking advantage of the activities, explained the regional delegate of the Cotton and Cashew Council, Coulibaly Sandona.

"We are delighted with this news, which will give a second life to our activities. Our thanks go to the government and the organizers, the Cashew Cotton Council, the Regional Directorate of Agriculture and ANADER", added confided the chairman of the board of directors of the cooperative society of cashew nut producers of Korodougou (CPNK).
