In the world of global commodity trading, few moments are as electric as the official launch of a new harvest season. Today, 6th and tomorrow, 7th February, all eyes are on Yamoussoukro, the heartbeat of Côte d'Ivoire’s agricultural sector, as the 7th Edition of the National Producer Days (JNPCA) officially kicks off.

At Synergic Sustainability, we believe that transparency is the foundation of a successful supply chain. Here is everything you need to know about the launch of the 2026 Raw Cashew Campaign and what it means for your business.

A Ceremonial Start with a Global Purpose

Taking place at the prestigious Fondation Félix Houphouët-Boigny on February 6th and 7th, this event is more than just a ceremony. It is a strategic gathering of government authorities, exporters, and professional producers aimed at one goal: reinforcing resilience and competitiveness.

For global buyers, this ceremony signals the "green light." It is where the policy for the year is set, and the official farmgate prices are announced, a crucial benchmark that dictates the market flow for the coming months.

What to Anticipate This Season

If you’ve been following the cashew market, you know that no two seasons are the same. This year, we are anticipating a shift in dynamics compared to 2025.

New Pricing Benchmarks: The official government price reveal is the most anticipated moment of the launch.
Enhanced Quality Control: There is a heightened focus on ensuring that "professional producers" meet the international standards for drying, grading, and KOR (Kernel Outturn Ratio).
Sustainable Sourcing: The theme of resilience highlights a move toward more sustainable, long-term farming practices that protect both the land and the farmer.

Powering the Supply Chain: Cocoa, Coffee, and Beyond

While the cashew season is the "new kid on the block", our operations across the board remain in high gear. At Synergic Sustainability, we pride ourselves on managing a multi-commodity supply chain with precision.

Our teams are currently executing high-volume contracts across our entire portfolio:

Premium Cocoa Beans: Fully fermented and traceable, our cocoa operations are currently at peak harvest, delivering excellence to chocolatiers worldwide.
Highland Coffee Beans: Our aromatic, export-certified coffee continues to move from the highlands to the global market without delay.
Raw Cashew Nuts: With the 2026 season open, we are accepting inquiries for the new crop.
