  Nigeria’s Cashew Sector Targets Strategic Scale and Domestic Value Addition Amid Export Surge.  www.arzeeka.com 29/01/2026 ABUJA — Nigeria’s cashew industry is emerging as a cornerstone of the nation’s non-oil export diversification strategy. With annual exports reaching approximately 600,000 metric tonnes, the sector is positioned as a critical driver of foreign exchange (FX) inflows, rural employment, and agro-industrial development. Nigerian Cashew The National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN) recently highlighted that the current momentum—driven by favorable climatic conditions and rising global demand—presents a unique opportunity to reclaim Nigeria’s standing among the world’s top producers. Strategic Shift Toward Local Processing A central theme of the industry’s current roadmap is the transition from raw commodity exports to domestic value addition.

High-sea floating hydrogen production offers a unique solution by tapping into the vast, untapped energy of offshore wind and the limitless supply of seawater. 1. The Core Technology: Seawater Electrolysis The fundamental process involves using electricity to split water into its constituent parts: hydrogen and oxygen. On a floating platform, this is achieved through an Electrochemical Process . The Reaction The overall chemical reaction for water electrolysis is: 2H2O(l) + energy-------> 2H2(g) + O2(g) The Systems There are two primary ways to handle the "saltwater problem": Desalination + Standard Electrolysis: The seawater is purified via Reverse Osmosis (RO) before entering a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) or Alkaline electrolyzer. This is...
