Guinea Bissau has so far this year exported 132,000 tonnes of cashew nuts, the best sales season of the country’s main export product, the director general of Trade and Competition said Monday in Bissau. Speaking to Portuguese news agency Lusa, Hélder Barros said that the amount already exported to India, the main purchasing market for the product, had already exceeded the target of 120,000 tonnes. In order to achieve over 132,000 tonnes exported by 23 August, the country’s land borders were strictly controlled in order to prevent illegal exports of cashews, said Barros. The country is expected to net around US$80 million from cashew exports, Barros said, noting that the government was satisfied with the results achieved. (macauhub)
