Some producers are said to be forced to sell their goods for less than 250 CFA francs, while other sellers refuse any sale, pending the rise in prices. A situation that does not help wholesalers or intermediaries, who are struggling to obtain nuts because of the scarcity created by some producers. Only a few days after its launch, the cashew nut marketing campaign is far from meeting the expectations of the various players in the sector. An atmosphere that contrasts greatly with the tenor of the speeches made during the launch ceremony. Producers' hopes of doing good business have dwindled to a trickle. For the most part, they point the finger at the government, which would not have set a floor price and would have prohibited, at the same time, the export of nuts beyond Beninese borders. A situation which is at the origin of the collapse of the purchase price of nuts practiced on the various markets in the south of the department of Borgou. Some producers are said to be forced to sell their goods for less than 250 CFA francs, while other sellers refuse any sale, pending the rise in prices. A situation that does not help wholesalers or intermediaries, who are struggling to obtain nuts because of the scarcity created by some producers. These declare that they do not have their accounts until the prices practiced do not experience a remarkable increase. As a result, they dread the specter of huge losses, for having spent on their trip and proceeded to store rentals and purchases of packaging or other. According to a senior official of the National Federation of Cashew Producers of Benin , the government's decision to ban the sale of cashew nuts outside Benin's borders is an option to prioritize national processorscompared to export. An explanation that hardly convinces Gaston Nambony, another wholesaler, who regrets that the government has not authorized grouped sales. Similarly, he castigates the behavior of certain elements of the Republican police who would prevent the rapprochement of sellers to the markets of the municipalities on which the product is more popular. Also, he raises his voice to insinuate that their "only mission is to control border markets". Proof that bitterness is on the agenda for the cashew nuts marketing campaign.
