In 2017, we started a cashew nut nursery in Kibuku District, Eastern Tanzania. We found that there were many farmers that wanted to start growing cashew nuts; it is a perennial tree crop that could provide future income for their kids and generations to come.
We started planting seeds and raising cashew nut seedlings to distribute to the new cashew nut farmers. We provided training to these new cashew nut farmers; teaching them how to prepare the land, dig the holes, space the trees, and how to prune the young trees to the right shape.
Since then, we have planted over 70,000 new cashew nut trees in different regions of Uganda. These trees have now started producing cashew nuts in small quantities, which will increase each year as the trees continue to grow.
Plant trees, We Love Trees.
