Market Trends

Recently, cashew nuts have become one of the most consumed nuts amongst other types of nuts. This is attributable to its positive effects on the human body. Nuts especially those of cashew contain nutrients such as fibre, proteins, folate and several other minerals, and this has encouraged more people to consume this nut daily.

This has generated high demand for nuts such as cashew nut. So, to meet up with the growing demand, genetically modified crops have been looked into to help those in the business to keep up with demand.

As a matter of fact, cashew nuts come from cashew tree. This tree is majorly grown in tropical regions and as such businesses that process these nuts in these regions spend less to get them. On the other hand, those that process the nuts in areas where the cashew trees don’t grow spend more.

Our survey reveals that the use of processed cashew nuts have spread from commercial purposes to personal purposes. This actually means there will always be a demand for processed cashew nuts.

Since cashew nuts grow majorly in tropical regions, our location here in Okigwe, Imo State, Nigeria, means that we re well positioned to meet the demands of our target market in Nigeria and for export. This means Cashew Nuts Factory Ltd will not only be generating enough income but also making enough profit in our first year and breaking even in our second year.

As a matter of fact, our optimism stems from a critical examination of the agro processing industry cum the food industry by our consultants. This was to analyse our chances and know how we are likely to fare not only in this industry but from the environment where we re operating from.
