Cashew nuts export
The information you brought to our notice is very good and might be profitable as well. Many things poss as an obstacle, to mention few, most of this business are capital intensive, the protocols”government agencies and some documents before exportation can be free and fair, men it somehow cumbersome to achieve. In a nutshell, only well to do can venture in to it without much stress. If they can make it simple for the less privilege and average earners to partake,
As for me no matter how i will surely do export in as much i will be prperly guided
