The Sweet Cashew Team is a dedicated group of students working in collaboration with Vertex Agro Limited, a leading cashew processing company in Nigeria. The team aims to address the critical issue of the presence of the astringent taste in processed cahsew nuts. Under the guidance of experienced coaches, we develop innovative agricultural and technological solutions to enhance the quality and marketability of cashew nuts and the cashew products.

Our team is committed to creating sustainable, scalable solutions that empower the cashew industry. By leveraging Vertex Agro’s state-of-the-art processing facilities, we aim to deliver high-quality, consumer-preferred cashew kernels for both local and international markets. Our work fosters collaboration across disciplines, promoting core competencies such as teamwork, innovation, critical thinking and communication, while generating impactful outcomes and supporting Nigeria’s agricultural economy.
