10,000 tpa Raw Cashew Nut Processing Project
Capacity to increase to 15,000 tpa
Located in Tiebissou, Côte d'Ivoire
In January 2023, Dekel secured a 100% interest in the Capro-Tiebissou cashew project. Please visit the Capro website HERE
Production has commenced on our 10,000 tpa cashew processing plant at Tiebissou, which is being developed in line with the collaborative model that we successfully deployed at our 100% owned palm oil project in Ayenouan. In August 2023 Capro passed the BRC Global Food standard assessment with a grade A, the highest possible grade accreditation.
Despite being the world's top cashew producer, Côte d'Ivoire only processes 10-15% of RCNs grown in the country. As was the case with Ayenouan, the Company identified a shortfall in regional cashew processing capacity in the area around Tiebissou. The project at Tiebissou will provide local smallholders with an outlet for their produce. In line with this, relationships with local co-operatives to supply raw cashew nuts to the project have been established.
