Tchaourou commune produces 95% of Benin's cashew exports, and we had the good fortune to tour the plant about 2 km away from our house. It was cool, nice to see efficiency exists here and encouraging that some natural resource transformation is benefiting the local economy.
That said it was a factory, and aside from Jaren getting caught committing industrial espionage (taking pictures that is), it is a fairly unremarkable factory.
Bottom line - go ask your local grocer for Beninese Cashwes. Now.

I've been reading through your blog. I'm coming to Benin in July to do TEFL. You're "coverage" has been really great. :-)
You two are coo-coo for nuts! Want some more peanut butter? :)
