SeGaBi Cashew Farms Georeferenced
In Senegal, 2,238 farms have been mapped, 3,687 in Guinea-Bissau, and 1,800 in Gambia. The purpose of this project is to map the plantations of farmers who have been trained in organic certification. This information will speed up the organic certification process, leading to greater financial gains for processors, cooperatives and international export partners. It also provides an overview of the cashew fields of producers in partnership with SFL in the SeGaBi zone.
