Tanzania’s cashew nut production could decline by 40 percent this year as poor rains in major growing areas hurt harvests in Africa’s fourth-largest producer.
Tanzania had estimated it would match the 200,000 tons achieved last year, but may only manage 120,000 tons in 2015, according to Cashewnut Board of Tanzania Director General Mfaume Mkanachapa Juma.
