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
