Mama Cashew is the First Fairtrade-certified cashew nut processor in East Africa. Starting our journey in October 2021, we work with more than 1600 farmers and 600 employees in Mtwara, Tanzania to source, process, and export sustainable and traceable cashew nuts. We aim to promote local jobs for Tanzanian women and sustainability in the cashew industry.
Cashew nuts, nestled within the cashew apple's distinctive shape, feature a kidney-shaped form housed in a protective shell. Once the shell is removed and the nuts are processed, whole cashews offer a satisfying crunch and maintain their natural shape, making them perfect for high-end snack mixes or premium garnishes.
Cashew pieces, broken from whole nuts, maintain their rich flavor and nutritional value. Convenient for baking, cashew milk, vegan cheese, and granola recipes, they offer versatility in various dishes. Whether in salads, sauces, or homemade mixes, cashew pieces add nutrition and flavor to culinary creations.
George Listram and Maria Verschoof set up Mama Cashew to improve smallholder farmers' lives, to make the cashew chain more sustainable, and to generate local employment for women. They have been working towards fair prices in the cashew chain and a shorter route from Tanzania to end consumers.
