On the menu of the interview, the launch of the new cashew nut harvest campaign, the difficulties related to the sale of production for the year 2022, the management of the old stock, the situation of the collection and the conservation of stocks at the level of the shops and stores.

According to him, “the campaign has indeed started in Boké where shops and stores are open. But there was no follow-up as usual.

And then, the price was not fixed by the Government as usual. Products are purchased in bulk (pell-mell). Points of purchase are open everywhere both at the level of the sub-prefectures and in the urban commune here. »

The big problem we have, says Mr. Diallo, “is that the new campaign has found old stock from the previous campaign here. This poses serious problems for producers and buyers who, today, only buy new production and at a low price (1,500 or 2,000 GNF) once morest 7,500 and 8,000 in previous years. This is a loss for the producers”

Further, our interlocutor regrets the absence of cashew nut processing factories in the Boké region.

Welcoming the involvement of the administrative authorities, the president of the Regional Chamber of Commerce of Boké, recalls that this year, there was not even a campaign launch, El Hadj Alimou Diallo challenges the Ministry of Commerce on the need to relaunch the marketing of cashew nuts to minimize the difficulties of promoters of cashew plantations.

Regarding the Indian partners, the main leaders of the cashew trade, Mr. Diallo confirms the presence of their representatives in the field since the start of the harvest. El Hadj Alimou Diallo warmly thanks the Head of State, Colonel Mamadi Doumbouya for having revised upwards the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Thus, our interlocutor pleads for the development of the agricultural plains located in the region of Boké. A way to improve the living conditions of the Guinean.
