Jasper Uche, the
Transition Committee Chairman of Umunneochi Local Government Area in
Abia state, said that the council will soon open a cashew processing
industry in the area.
He revealed this on
Sunday in Umunneochi, that the industry will be sited in Mbala
community.Mr Uche explained that the industry will utilise the abundant
but neglected cashew nuts at Mbala, as the area has the largest cashew
farm in Abia state.
He said the abundant cashew nuts have continued to waste away
because of the non-availablity of industries to process and preserve
it. The chairman said ‘‘we want to take the bull by the horn to check
the wastages of the resources of the people.’’
