The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Richard Adeniyi has again pledged his commitment to ensure that Cashew Value Chain is given top priority to increase Nigeria’s foreign earnings.
The Minister gave the assurance at a Gala night to mark the closing of the 16th edition of the African Cashew Conference in Abuja.
He said the only way to reap the benefits from cashew is to redoubtable efforts of processing before exporting in order to avoid rejects in the international market.
He also noted that the Russia Ukraine war has offered Nigeria and Africa the opportunity to become global food basket.
Some key stakeholders also spoke on the benefits of the 16th African Cashew Conference.
The parting shot from the Minister to the stakeholders was for them to implement every decisions and recommendations reached at the two day conference in order to complement efforts of the Nigeria’s Government in revolutionising the cashew Value Chain.
