PRESS RELEASE- Cote d'Ivoire

Le Conseil du Coton et de l’Anacarde- Cote d'Ivoire

Persistent rumors in the cashew nut industry point to an imminent review of the field-floor price of raw cashew nuts. 

To this end, the Cotton and Cashew Council reminds economic operators involved in the cashew nut sector that the compulsory floor prices of raw cashew nuts are well dried and well sorted, and do not include any foreign matter set by the Government as follows. February 14, 2018 remain in effect:

• Ground floor price: 500 FCFA / kg
• Price inland stores: 525 F CFA / kg
• Port stores price: 584 F CFA / kg

These prices are minimum prices below which no purchase is allowed. 

Any operator contravening these provisions is liable to the sanctions provided for by the regulations. 

All actors in the sector are asked to ensure that these prices are scrupulously respected.
