Tender Reference: UTG-CAM-CFPP-2026-TR07

Project Title: Cashew Fruit Product Development Project

Funding Agencies: Co-funded by the European Union (EU), the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Context and Rationale

The Cashew Fruit Product Development Project is a multi-lateral collaborative initiative engineered to transform the underutilized cashew value chain in West Africa, with a specific focus on The Gambia. While cashew nut processing is a widely commercialized industry, millions of metric tons of nutritious, high-value cashew apples (fruit) rot at the farm-gate level every year due to limited processing skills, short shelf-life, and a lack of specialized training frameworks. 

To reverse this post-harvest loss, this tender formally seeks a storage facility to store the cashew fruit at sub zero freeing temperature for further use beyond the cashew season.

The storage (Freezer room) must be at constant sub-zero frozen temperature twenty-four hours of preferably up to -18

The storage facility should be accessible at any time needed
