Cashews for cash
In five years' time Ghana's Upper West Regional Administration will have planted 100,000 cashew and other economically profitable trees in a project financed by the United Nations Development Programme. The District assemblies in the five Districts of the Upper West Region will plant around one hectare of cashews and two hectares of other trees every year for five years, and will manage the plantations themselves ensuring as far as possible the survival of the saplings. They will be expected to export cashew nuts to earn some revenue to finance development projects. The other tree species will enhance urban districts.
