Impact
TechnoServe has provided comprehensive technical assistance to help five Beninese cashew processors establish and expand operations, increasing their production by nearly 150 percent. These cashew processing companies employ more than 1,200 people, 63 percent of whom are women. TechnoServe also helped three of these processors to establish a service company, Benin Gold, to market and export their products under one brand. Together, the companies are able to save costs on logistics and marketing, fill orders more quickly and better manage cash flows.
