On the occasion of the Council of Ministers of this Wednesday, January 26, 2022, the government set the opening of the 2022 campaign for the cashew sector on February 4. It also set the farm gate floor price at CFAF 305 per kilogram, on the proposal of the Cotton-Cashew Council. The government has also adopted a communication on the 2021 report and 2022 outlook for the cashew sector. For this 2022 campaign, the government said it expected a production of 1 million 40 thousand tonnes of cashew nuts. If this level of production is reached, "it would represent almost a quarter of world production," noted government spokesman Amadou Coulibaly. As a 2021 report, it appears that at the end of the previous campaign that "the national production of cashew nuts reached 968,676 tonnes, an increase of 14% compared to 2020 which had recorded a production of 848,700 tonnes".
