According to industry players, until now, the harmattan wind, usually feared by producers because of the drying effect on cashew flowers, has been moderate, which allows for good fruiting. "The harvest is currently in a disparate manner but until the end of February, there will be the full harvest. Our favorite period is February with the harmattan winds but this particular year, until this period of the month, the winds have been favorable and there has not really been any drying out of the cashew flowers", greet large cashew nut producers in the central region of the country. To date, price trends observed in some countries in the region clearly reveal that in Côte d'Ivoire, a kilogram of cashew nuts is currently at 450 CFA francs; 375 CFA francs in Benin and 385 CFA francs in Burkina Faso. According to our information, in Togo, the black market is already showing a price of 425 CFA francs per kilo, a level significantly higher than last year's floor price which was set at 325 CFA francs farm gate when the campaign was launched. Faced with these fluctuations and to ensure fair remuneration for producers, it is important to quickly organize a consultation between the different families of the interprofession to define a floor price which will take into account the realities of the market while remaining competitive compared to neighboring countries. "The price of nuts in Togo could probably increase. Current trends could lead us there. We will very soon enter into discussions between the different families of the interprofession to see together what we can stop by taking into account the analyses of neighboring countries" confides Koriko Adjemini, president of the National Federation of Cashew Producers' Cooperatives (FNCPA) With an expected harvest of over 50,000 tonnes and a favourable regional market, the price outlook is encouraging. The success of this campaign will depend on the ability of industry players to unite for effective and strategic management of the market.
