Cashew Captures Carbon

Empowering sustainable climate compatible cashew growth : Away4Africa, Proba and SoilWatch team up to turn cashew farming by carbon sequestration in Benin, West Africa, into a win-win for climate and community.

In Benin, the Cashew Captures Carbon Project, led by Away4Africa, is taking a new approach to sustainable cashew farming. By focusing on a productive and resilient production system of cashew farming, quantifying the biomass growth and carbon sequestration, the project aims to combine climate benefits with community well-being. The verification of farmer collected data by FarmerLink in combination with earth observations and methodology applied has been approved by the verifier SoilWatch. Based on validated references. Proba has issued high integrity certificates, for tradable voluntary carbon units. The carbon credits are obtained by the Dutch company Hollander Techniek, compensating an annual net emission of 1,600 tCO₂. The carbon sequestration, realized by 600 cashew farmers, members of FENAPAB in Benin, sequester the carbon in 1,250 ha of cashew plantation, receiving an additional revenue of 9% on top of the cashew sales revenues. The Carbon Capture Chain collaboration between the parties Hollander Techniek – Away4Africa – FENAPAB is a long-term relation, ensuring the farmer to invest in sustainably performing and resilient cashew plantations, producing climate compatible cashews for the international market.

EcoCajou

Creation of a processing unit of 10,000 Mt/year organic and Fairtrade certified cashew nuts in Odienné.

Improved production at 3,300 smallholders farmers.

And it will create 1,000 permanent jobs with fair working conditions, of which +60% will be female.

The project combines through a unique Private-Public-Partnership approach, public interests and a private sector investments. It brings together national and international resources. The factory is under construction. In 2021, the factory starts processing.

The project also contributes to the development of an ecologically sustainable cashew production and to carbon compatible systems.

Deforestation risk analysis, mitigation and end-to-end traceability of natural rubber in Côte d'Ivoire

Away4Africa will perform a risk Risk assessment and mitigation plan and implement end-to-end Product traceability from farmer’s plantations linked the exported natural rubber with Southland Kati Côte d’Ivoire, in compliance with the EUDR Deforestation Regulation enforcing import of deforestation free rubber into EU countries.
