  • Ivory Coast: Cashew commercial campaign, Hambol populations looking for buyers

    Mar 10th, 2020

    <p></p><p>Since February 6, 2020, the cashew marketing campaign has started in Côte d'Ivoire with a floor price to producers of 400 FCFA per kilo. More than a month later, some regions have not yet been visited by buyers. Producers in the Hambol region , especially those in the young Arikokaha sub-prefecture, are in this situation. They have their production at hand for lack of buyers.</p> <p>“Since the campaign was launched, no buyer has come to visit us. We do not understand why. The production is stored, ”explained a farmer to KOACI. According to him, the Sub-prefect of Arikokaha, would track down crooked buyers who offer prices below 400 FCFA to producers. "The Sub-prefect advised us not to sell our production to buyers who offer prices less than 400 FCFA," said this producer whose name we will not mention. &nbsp;We also learned that for lack of means, farmers sell their productions to pay for food by selling the kilo and a half at 500 FCFA instead of 600 FCFA.</p><br><p></p>
