CAJOU ESPOIR
Building communities one cashew nut at a time !
Solidarity
We are inspired by a simple motto: “You should never eat alone or not share with those who are hungry”. Solidarity is a deeply rooted value in African communities and we live this value every day by not only rewarding our employees fairly and providing them with good working conditions but also by sharing our success with the community at large. We don’t build factories – we build communities.
Discipline at work
We believe that successful businesses need disciplined people, disciplined minds, and disciplined actions. At Cajou Espoir, we live by these principles by committing daily to rigorous management and making no compromises on quality at every stage of our cashew processing process.
Passion
We are driven by the passion to build a different model of capitalism in Africa. A model that creates wealth and promotes solidarity. We are driven by a passion for agriculture and agribusiness as key drivers of development on the continent.
