Cashews fastest selling item at FCT markets in Nigeria

The demand for cashew nuts by traders in some markets in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has drastically increased during market days in the recent time.

A survey conducted by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in the FCT, revealed that cashews were the fastest selling farm produce in the markets.

Mr. Usman Musa, a trader of cashew nuts at Abaji Market told NAN that the business was profitable as the nuts were being exported.

“A measure of cashew nuts which was formerly sold between N300 and N400, is now being sold for between N800 and N900 because of the high demand.

“Cashew nuts business is more profitable these days than some other farm produce because of its high demand for export,’’ Musa said.
