Tanzania Targets Record Cashew Harvest — PSL Machinery Ready to Power the Next Leap

Tanzania is setting ambitious goals for its upcoming harvest season. With favorable climate conditions and strong government support, the country is on track to reach a record-breaking yield of 700,000 tons in the 2025/2026 season — a significant jump from 595,000 tons in the previous year.

According to Mr. Alfred Francis, Director General of the Cashew Board of Tanzania (CBT), the country is implementing continuous 24-hour transportation of raw cashew nuts from key storage centers to Mtwara Port to prevent congestion and ensure smooth logistics. This strong coordination reflects Tanzania’s determination to boost its export capacity and strengthen its position in the global cashew market.

But as cashew production rises, modern processing capacity for cashew processing becomes the crucial next step. This is where PSL Machinery comes in.

Recently, PSL Machinery had the honor of welcoming a government delegation from Tanzania and representatives from CBT to Vietnam. The visit marked an important milestone in exploring future cooperation and empowering Tanzanian cashew processors and farm owners to build world-class, efficient cashew processing facilities.
