The Tanzanian government is looking at processing 60 percent of the locally grown cashews by 2025-26 season. Towards achieving this objective, the government has introduced the primary marketing system. This allows licensed local processors to buy raw cashews from the Association of Marketing Cooperative Societies (Amcos) without competing with exporters in the auctions.
The processors must get valid licenses for participating in the primary market in a particular season. Selling cashew nuts through the primary market is voluntary.

The cashews bought in the primary markets must be locally processed and should not be exported in raw form. The CBT plans to increase raw cashew nut production to 700,000 tonnes in the 2025-26 season, compared to the 236,213 tonnes that were produced in the 2021-22 season.
