Bouna, The cooperative society of agricultural producers (COCOPRAGEL) has acquired new machines for its cashew nut processing unit installed in Bouna.

These are ten shellers, almond drying ovens, a latest-generation packaging machine, which will allow this cooperative to go from a processing level of 300 tons to 1,500 tons per year.
