Captain Traore Lays Foundation Stone for a $11 Million Cashew Processing Plant

By Abu Bakarr Jalloh / May 22, 2025

The President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traore, has today, officially laid the foundation stone for a new cashew nuts processing plant in Péni, a small town situated about 30 kilometers from Bobo-Dioulasso.

The new plant, which will be built at a cost of $11.8 million, is expected to be completed by December 2025. It is a key part of President Traoré’s vision to prioritize the transformation, promotion, and enhancement of local products as part of the country’s broader industrial development strategy.

The goal of the plant is to add value to the cashew fruit and reduce post-harvest losses by attracting more stakeholders to the sector. Burkina Faso has immense potential in cashew production, with over two million tons of cashew fruit being produced annually.

Before now, Burkina Faso used to export raw cashew nuts only. The new factory will change this by transforming the entire cashew fruit into various products such as juice, wine, concentrates, ethanol, and vinegar.
