Cashew farmers in the Bono Region have called on the Tree Crop Development Authority (TCDA) to facilitate the establishment of a processing factory for the cashew apple to generate more income.
According to the farmers, almost all the cashew apple are left to rot on the farms due the lack of technical know-how and industries to process them into useful projects.
Some of the products from cashew apple includes, juices, jam, alcoholic beverages such as wine.
These came to light during the launch of the second phase of Amplifying Voices of Cashew farmers by the Cashew Watch Ghana, a civil society advocacy group at Banda in the Bono Region, yesterday.
