Cashew Operation Update - Global Food Certification Received

 

Dekel Agri-Vision Plc (AIM: DKL), the West African agriculture company focused on building a portfolio of sustainable and diversified projects, is pleased to confirm it has passed the BRC Global Food standard assessment ('BRC') at our large-scale cashew processing plant at Tiebissou, Côte d'Ivoire (the 'Cashew Operation').

 

Key Highlights

·      The BRC assessment was passed with a grade A, the highest possible grade accreditation.

·      The Cashew Operation has now passed all related international food and safety accreditations.

·      Whilst the Company has already commenced sales in the US and Europe, the BRC accreditation is important when trading with blue chip cashew buyers and a key part of our strategy to achieve premium prices in the near future.

·      The Cashew Operation daily production volumes continue to gradually improve compared to Q2 2023 and a further update will be provided on Q3 2023 operations during October 2023.

 

Lincoln Moore, Dekel's Executive Director, said: "Completing all food and safety accreditation with the highest possible grade is a key milestone and is a testament to the quality of our Cashew Operation and management team.  We now focus on becoming a consistent high quality producer of Cashews for our growing list of customers as we seek to maximise prices for our high quality cashew products."
