The strategy "Maximising Morogoro Regional Cashew Production and Processing" aims to significantly increase cashew output and processing by 2035 to benefit the region's citizens. Enhancing agricultural practices is a core component, involving workshops to educate farmers on superior cultivation methods and the distribution of improved seed varieties. For instance, setting up demonstration farms helps showcase these successful techniques, while establishing cooperatives facilitates resource sharing among farmers.
Strengthening the cashew processing industry is another pillar of the strategy. This includes securing funding for new processing facilities, recruiting skilled labor, and promoting value addition through packaging. For example, collaborating with technical training centers ensures skill enhancement for processing plant workers to meet international quality standards.
Improving the supply chain and market access ensures that the cashews produced can reach both local and international markets efficiently. Developing transportation infrastructure and establishing partnerships with buyers are key actions. Additionally, using social media platforms can boost consumer engagement and improve market reach.
