NCAN warned that any attempt to alter or manipulate the roadmap could negatively affect farmers, processors, and the overall supply chain. The association stressed that collaboration, transparency, and adherence to the roadmap are essential to achieving sustainable growth in Nigeria’s cashew sector. Ensuring smallholders benefit from roadmap initiatives without exploitation. Preventing disruptions that could impact local and export markets. Maintaining credibility to attract both domestic and foreign investment in cashew processing and export.

NCAN reaffirmed its commitment to work closely with government agencies, industry players, and international partners to safeguard the integrity of the cashew roadmap. By resisting manipulation, the association aims to secure long-term growth, profitability, and sustainability for Nigeria’s cashew industry.
