This chapter tells another story about marketization. It deals, once again, with nuts – although in a different setting, Ghana, and with a different nut, the cashew nut. (In fact, cashew is a seed and not a nut. Yet, as cashews are widely considered and labelled as nuts, I refer to cashews in this book as nuts as well.) Cashew nuts are far from being “novel foods” on global markets: The existence of a global cashew price confirms this. Cashews have recently started to be cultivated for commercial purposes in Ghana (Context 9).
