Do you want to help rural African communities to utilize their resources and fight food loss? Are you skilled in sales, marketing, and communication?

More than half of all cashew nuts globally are produced by African small-hold farmers. These farmers are struggling to make a decent living. On top of each cashew nut grows a fruit. The cashew fruits are most often left on the fields to rot, but imagine if farmers could increase their income and create local jobs just by utilizing this resource that is already there?
