The Ivory Coast has overtaken India to become the world’s biggest exporter of cashew nuts.<\/p>\n

This development will bolster President Alassane Ouattara\u2019s efforts to have 100% of the cashew nuts produced in the Ivory Coast processed internally by 2020.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast is also one of the world’s leading producer of cocoa. The country was recently ranked as the preferred destination for investors in Africa<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

This trade boost for the Ivory Coast comes a few months after Ghana’s Ministry of Trade and Industry\u00a0suspended a ban<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0it had placed on exportation of raw cashew nuts after it received intense bashing from Parliament.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Trade, Ekow Spio Garbrah said the decision to suspend the ban was mainly influenced by the view that the timing for the move was wrong.<\/p>\n

The Ministry earlier explained that the directive banning the cashew nuts exports was an attempt to improve the local\u00a0processing sector.<\/p>\n

This ban however\u00a0infuriated MPs<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and some cashew nut farmers who mounted intense pressure on the Ministry to rescind its decision.<\/p>\n

Despite the Trade Ministry\u2019s decision retreat, it said it will soon put in place some measures to streamline the cashew industry.<\/p>\n
