Connecting Nigeria's Cashew Farmers
to Better Markets

Nigerian cashew farmers work hard. The system rarely rewards them fairly.

The majority of Nigeria's cashew is harvested by women — working long hours on small plots of land across Kogi, Oyo, Enugu, Kwara, Niger and other states. Yet when it's time to sell, most have no alternative but to sell to middlemen at whatever price is offered.

There is no price transparency. No guaranteed offtake. No training on how to improve quality and therefore earn more. No connection to international buyers who would pay significantly more for the same cashew, properly graded.

CashewHer Nigeria is working to change this — starting with honest conversations with farmers and building the infrastructure to connect them to better markets.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

Our goal is to pay farmers prices that are transparent, fair and linked to quality — not arbitrary prices set by intermediaries with no accountability.

Quality Education & Training

We plan to offer farmers practical training on post-harvest handling, grading standards, drying techniques and quality improvement — the knowledge that increases the value of what they grow.

Market Access

By connecting farmer supply to our processing and buyer network, we create an alternative to the middleman system — one where more of the final product price reaches the farmer.

Women Farmer Priority

CashewHer Nigeria was founded by a woman and is building for women. Women farmers will always be our first priority in sourcing, training and support programmes.

Traceability (Building)

We are building toward a fully traceable supply chain — where every bag of cashew can be traced to the specific farm and farmer who grew it. This is our goal, not our current capability.

Long-Term Relationships

We are not interested in one-off transactions. We want long-term farmer relationships built on trust, consistency and shared growth as CashewHer Nigeria scales.

Nigeria's cashew belt — where we are building

Nigeria's cashew production is concentrated across several key states in the North-Central, South-West and South-East regions. CashewHer Nigeria is focusing its initial farmer sourcing network across these areas.
