Instead of material gifts, we focused on making a tangible difference in the lives of those who are integral to the cashew nut supply chain in the Ivory Coast, in collaboration with Cashew Coast.

Our initiative this year centered on supporting farmers, small-holders, and villages essential to the cashew industry. This collaboration with Cashew Coast is not just a gesture; it embodies our core values and aims to make a significant impact on the lives of those involved in this crucial agricultural sector.

Cashew Coast sources cashews directly from local farmers and processes them within the Ivory Coast, adhering to the highest food standards. We are proud to support a sustainable and ethical business model that benefits both producers and consumers.

Our contributions have been directed towards several impactful initiatives:

• Village Water Pump Installation: We funded the installation of a village water pump to alleviate the daily challenges faced by local communities. This initiative has reduced the burden of manually carrying water for household purposes, significantly improving the quality of life for residents.
• Support for Bush Warehouse Construction: We contributed to the construction of bush warehouses, which are essential for preserving product quality and reducing post-harvest losses. This support helps increase the economic standing of cashew farmers by maintaining the integrity of the cashew supply chain.
• School support for Children’s Education: Recognising education as a key driver of long-term community development, we provided financial aid to support the education of 40 children in the region. This assistance has enabled families to send their children to school, improving their future prospects.

At CM Biomass, we believe in growing together — with our partners, our communities, and the world.
