Default Firm supports organic cashew farming

OLAM Tanzania Limited has delivered 24 tonnes of organic anti-fungal drug for treatment of cashew trees known as Thiovit Jet worth 28m/- to six co-operative societies in Mpapura Ward, Mtwara Region.

Olam Tanzania Factory Manager Shweth Rai named the societies that received the input as Mpapura, Njengwa, Dinyecha, Namkuku, Nyundo and Chikwaya. He added that Olam was now working with the six co-operative societies involved in organic cashew nut farming project.

He said the project has proved to be fruitful since organic cashew nut was now popular in many parts of the world and fetches good prices. "Thiovit Jet gives better result in organic cashew nut farming since it has no strong chemicals compared to other anti-fungial brands. "The farmers will have to pay 6,000/- for each sack of 20kg instead of 48,000/- if they were to buy at the market price," he said.
