A strong rationale for reviving the cashew nut industry at the Kenyan Coast

Cashew nut production has traditionally been one of the main sources of livelihoods at the coast.

Although the production of the nuts is growing in the country and currently stands at around 25,000 tonnes, it is still well below the 1978 peak production of 38,000 tonnes and represents a meagre 0.6 per cent of world production.
