International Women’s day 2017 – A perfect day to celebrate women in cashew!

From time immemorial, women have contributed in various capacities to the development of the cashew industry worldwide. The contribution of women in the entire cashew value chain, from production to consumption, organizing the sector to create a conducive business environment, etc. cannot go unmentioned.
