UANC

United African Nut Company

We build cashew processing plants where the raw materials are grown.

Every year, more than 90% of unprocessed cashews from Africa are exported to Asia. There, they are cleaned, packaged, and only then delivered to Europe, the United States, and other countries. This is a long, expensive, and outdated chain that exports jobs, taxes, and added value from Africa.

We are changing the rules of the game

Our project is creating a network of modern cashew processing plants in Côte d’Ivoire, Tanzania, and other African countries—as close as possible to the plantations. The goal is simple and strategic:

  • return recycling to producing countries,
  • create thousands of jobs,
  • keep most of the profits within the African economy,
  • reduce logistics costs and carbon footprint
  • to guarantee the global market a stable and sustainable supply of premium cashew kernels.

What we build

  • High-tech factories with a capacity of 3,000 to 10,000 tons of kernels per year.
  • CNSL (cashew nutshell liquid) production lines – an additional export product.
  • Training and training centers for local teams.
  • Infrastructure: warehouses, drying stations, quality laboratories, logistics hubs.

Economic effect

  • +30–40% added The cost remains in the country of cultivation.
  • Reduction in logistics costs by 20-35%.
  • Increase in farmers’ income and transition from raw material exports to finished product exports.
  • Attracting investment, developing industrial zones and related businesses.

Who is this for? Project

  • Investors seeking strong projects with high margins and social impact.
  • International organizations supporting recycling within producer countries.
  • Farmer cooperatives and local partners.

Our Mission

To create Africa’s first large-scale industrial cashew processing ecosystem—efficient, competitive, and environmentally sustainable. To build an industry that will benefit local communities and the global market simultaneously.

A new era for cashews is dawning. And it starts in Africa.

Development Stage

The project is in the implementation stage: equipment has been purchased, the company has been registered, and a 50-year lease agreement for 2 hectares of land in Côte d’Ivoire has been signed.
We are inviting: a 50% investor, and a manager.
