A U.S.-backed project plans to help invest about $60 million in West Africa’s cashew nut industry as part of a goal to boost local processing.

The target was announced by the Prosper Cashew project at an event in Abidjan in Ivory Coast, the top cashew producer. Started by non-profit TechnoServe and supported by the U.S. government, it will create a fund to strengthen the commercial viability of processing in Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria.
