Cashew Butter
Burkina Faso
Organic
Roasted cashew pieces from gebana Burkina Faso are the only ingredient for this cashew butter. The fragments are created when cracking the hard shell and peeling off the thin skin of the cashews. The smaller the fragments, the harder it is to sell them, so processing them into butter creates more value.
- Grown by 3031 family farmers on an average of 5.4 ha in the Hauts-Bassins, Sud-Ouest, Cascades and Centre-Ouest Regions in Burkina Faso
- Organic, non-irrigated, manually harvested and sorted, never repackaged, all processing done locally, transport: straight from the farm to Bobo-Dioulasso by lorry, by lorry to Abidjan, by ship to Rotterdam, 100% of employees working in processing have an employment contract, wages on par with minimum wage or better
- Purchasing from cooperatives and family farmers straight from the farm since 2005
- Potential for improvement: Provide training for family farmers so that they view themselves as business owners, promote innovative farming practices and biodiversity, raise the lowest wages at gebana Burkina Faso
