Dr. Mohammad Abubakar, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, stated Thursday that the cashew value chain will continue to be a priority for the Federal Government in terms of export and revenue generation.

He praised the ACA for organising the first ACA conference in Abuja, which he said will bring about fresh knowledge and productivity along the value chain while also attracting investors.
