A message from Lloyd D. Ward, CEO
Greetings from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This is my third trip to Tanzania since January 2020 and each visit has provided me limitless learning and exposure to the warmth of its people, the beauty of its culture and the tremendous opportunities to assist in the industrialization and transformation of a country, beginning with its bountiful cashew nut sub-sector.
From the rich and fertile soils of Tanzania, the cashew tree produces a variety of products sold into the global market.
