<p>A cashew research centre is due to be installed in Nassuruma, in Mozambique’s Nampula province, to drive research and studies into cashews in the country, said Filomena Maiopué, director of the Cashew Institute (Incaju). Maiopué told Mozambican daily newspaper Notícias that the centre’s installation would initially have support from specialists form Tanzania, which has vast experience in cashew research and production.</p> <p>In Mozambique cashews are produced in almost all of the country’s provinces and the nuts are one of the key products for the family and industrial sector, with estimated annual production of 90,000 tons per year. In the last few years, cashew production has faced a number of problems including climate change, disease and price volatility on the international market.</p> <p>Maiopué also said that the cashew sector continued to attract investment and noted a factory to process cashew oil, which has a high commercial value.</p> <p> </p>
