Food Production
Farm Production
IAP farm production operation covers 3,000 hectares arable land in the agricultural heartland of northern Senegal. Phase 1 operations cover 900 hectares. IAP produces onion and corn (maize) on annual rotation with cover crops. Onion is a staple food product globally, well suited to production in Senegal. Corn is an import-substitution crop that supports local and regional poultry producers, reducing import costs and raising product quality.
IAP’s farm production operation creates 460 direct jobs and 3,680 indirect jobs locally in Phase 1. Managed by IAP Academy, our Community Contract delivers measurable economic and social improvement through new infrastructure, installation of Tolou Keur (community vegetable gardens), education and health care facilities, herd feeding and watering stations, improved cattle grazing techniques, tree nurseries/planting, and technical training initiatives.

Food Processing
IAP trades processed natural cashew nuts sourced from over 6,500 smallholder farmers, in five countries, pan Africa. RCN (raw cashew nut) are collected from smallholder farmers, delivered for processing at our partner facilities and packaged as a finished natural product for transportation to our storage operations in the USA. IAP ensures international food safety standards are met; all our partner cashew processing plants are HACCP and BRC certified and FDA (USA) approved.
IAP supplies our customers in the USA with the highest quality natural cashew nuts from our African processing facilities. Our aim is to continue to invest in and develop our processing capacity in key countries pan Africa, thereby retaining value in the African country of raw-material origin, supporting the many thousand smallholder farmers who supply our RCN.
