Voices from the Field

  • Quality Production

    It's a chance for us to welcome the company and its agents. I had problems maintaining my field, but you've enabled me to do a lot with this project. I knew I had to cut back the branches and create space between the cashew trees, but I didn't have the means. You allowed me to do it for free, and I can see the results today. Many thanks to Red River Foods for making this project possible and enabling me to have a quality production this year.

  • Lovely to See

    For an old woman like me, it's a bit complicated to maintain my field and apply all the techniques of good agricultural practice that you've taught us. If you come and do it for us, we can only be happy and thank God for you. My field is blooming nicely; I can feel the air circulating through it; it's lovely to see.

  • Help Before the Harvest

    This is the very first time that a company has come to our region and helped us with the upkeep of our fields. Usually, the others wait until we're done and then come to the milking and buy our product. But you, Red River Foods, came first. When I go to my field these days, I see the big difference with your project and I know I'll have a good production this year. My field is developing differently and in the right direction.

  • Supporting Independence

    I am a cashew nut producer, retailer, and a member of the Ando Simbo women's association (Beyo Benian). I am the mother of 5 children. Joining the VSLA group with its loan scheme has been very beneficial, as the credit I have taken out allowed me to launch my commercial activities in the village. My desire is to expand my business to fully support my family and be independent.
