Cashew Production and Processing
At TANECU (Tanzania Cashew and Economic Cooperative Union), we take pride in being a vital player in enhancing the cashew industry in Tanzania. By improving both production and processing practices, we aim to offer quality cashew nuts while supporting local farmers and creating a sustainable economic future.
Processing Goals and Initiatives
Our mission is to build a strong cashew processing sector within Tanzania, which will add value to our products and open doors to global markets. Below are our key objectives and initiatives:
Our Key Goals
Establishing Processing Factories
We are committed to setting up modern cashew processing factories in key growing regions to minimize the export of raw cashews and increase the processing capacity locally.Developing Auxiliary Industries
Alongside our factories, we plan to foster industries such as packaging, logistics, and quality control, ensuring that our cashews meet the highest international standards.Creating Value-Added Products
Our processing expansion includes creating premium cashew products, such as cashew butter, cashew oil, and roasted cashews, which will cater to global demand.Improving the Farm-to-Factory Supply Chain
By supporting farmers with proper storage, training, and access to better harvesting practices, we aim to enhance the quality of the raw material, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply to our processing units.
UAE: An emerging market for high-quality cashew nuts, especially roasted and flavored varieties.
USA: A key market for organic and premium cashew products, including cashew butter and snacks.
China: A growing market for processed cashews, particularly for use in snacks and cooking ingredients.
Europe: Continued demand for high-quality cashew products, especially those produced sustainably.
Growth Projections for 2025
By 2025, TANECU anticipates a 50% increase in processed cashew exports, with substantial gains in market share in the UAE, USA, and China. This will support the local economy by creating jobs, promoting sustainable farming, and enhancing export earnings.
