2024 has been a fruitful year for our participant base!

Looking back on 2024, we take pride in the growth of our participant base and are thrilled to welcome five new participants to SNI! With more actors joining our platform, we are able to collectively drive significant sustainability impacts in the cashew nut supply chain. Together, we can strategically develop solutions to tackle the critical social and environmental challenges facing the sector.

They focus on having a positive impact on the communities they source from, by expanding the sourcing of certified products, while considering the environmental impact of their logistics operations, by promoting a carbon free supply chain.

They focus on the sustainability of the entire value chain, emphasizing local economies and environmental preservation. Their holistic approach to sustainability reflects their commitment to continuous improvement and the values of supporting families, farmers, and the environment.

Their approach prioritizes environmental preservation while working with thousands of smallholder farmers to promote sustainability and transparency in the supply chain.

Cashew Coast sources and processes cashew kernels locally in Côte d’Ivoire, working directly with thousands of smallholder farmers. They offer both organic and conventional cashews, ensuring full traceability to the farm level.
