Cashew production in Tanzania has surged by 150.61%, from 210,786 tons in the 2020/2021 season to 528,263.82 tons in the 2024/2025 season.

This update was shared by Agriculture Minister Hussein Bashe during his presentation of the Ministry’s 2025/2026 budget estimates in Parliament, Dodoma.

The increase follows major reforms initiated by President Samia Suluhu after taking office in April 2021. Her administration prioritized agricultural development through improved research, quality seeds, expanded irrigation, and better access to farming inputs.
