We had the honour of meeting H.E. Ibrahim Kalil Konaté, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Handicrafts, and thanked him and his team for their continued support to Valency in Côte d’Ivoire. The meeting was led by our Chairman Mr. P.K. Jain, Group CEO Mr. Sumit Jain, and our Côte d’Ivoire leadership team, including Country Head Mr. Arvind Tiwari.

We shared our intention to further expand our operations and outlined our investment roadmap of US$250 million—including US$150 million in capex for cashew value-chain processing units and the development of an industrial park, and US$100 million to scale our cocoa business.

We also discussed practical steps to strengthen Côte d’Ivoire’s positioning as a global hub for cashew, cocoa and rubber, and requested a fast-track, coordinated permitting mechanism to streamline approvals. We welcome continued engagement with relevant stakeholders—through greater digitalisation and cross-ministry coordination—to support swift ex*****on.

Proud to share our new partnership with the EBRD through a €70m facility supporting Valency’s working capital requirements in Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria. This marks the start of a long-term collaboration to strengthen agribusiness value chains—scaling responsible sourcing from local farmers, improving utilisation of local processing capacity, and advancing our corporate climate governance.

€70 million loan to Valency International will strengthen agricultural value chains

We are proud to announce the signing of a strategic partnership between Valency International Trading and The Cotton, Cashew and Shea Council of Côte d’Ivoire.

This five-year collaboration (2026–2031) brings together two committed partners who will jointly and equally (50/50) finance a social impact project dedicated to the construction of one school per year in cashew-producing regions of Côte d’Ivoire.

This initiative continues Valency’s longstanding contributions to primary education in rural communities across the country and reflects our approach of putting our stakeholder communities first. By investing directly in education, we aim to strengthen local foundations and support inclusive, long-term socio-economic development.

At Valency, sustainability goes beyond operations. It is about shared responsibility, direct financial ownership, and partnerships that create lasting value for the communities at the heart of our value chain.

We are proud to work alongside the Cotton, Cashew and Shea Council to help build a better future for the next generation.

We’re delighted to share our successful participation at Mewa India 2026 – India’s Largest Dry Fruits and Nuts Show, which turned out to be a highly engaging and rewarding experience for the Valency India team.

The event provided an excellent platform to showcase the depth of our nuts portfolio and our growing range of branded, nut-based healthy snacks, while significantly strengthening our product and brand visibility across the industry.

It was a pleasure connecting with new customers, buyers and industry partners, and engaging in meaningful discussions around quality, global sourcing, traceability and long-term collaboration. The positive response to our product range and the interest in building enduring partnerships were truly encouraging.

At Valency International, we remain focused on taking high-quality, responsibly sourced nut products to global markets in a sustainable and scalable manner — creating value across the supply chain while meeting the evolving needs of today’s health-conscious consumers.

As we approach the end of the year, it's time to reflect, express our sincere gratitude and spread joy – the best we can!

When we created our range of luxury gift boxes under our "With Love, Gretel” brand in Singapore we wanted to share the love with some of the communities who are our stakeholders in the remote locations in Africa, who help bring our delicious and nutritious cashew nuts to consumers all over the world.

This idea evolved into The Gretel Promise where our customers had the option to sponsor a wholesome and nutritious meal with children in Africa.

We were very lucky to spend this festive time with the bright young students in a primary school in rural Attinguié, Ivory Coast and keep that promise.

Our leadership team also had the opportunity to observe the positive impact of our past efforts in this school, discuss issues around education with the teachers and administrators of the school, and the role Valency can play in resolving them. As Valency deepens its presence in West Africa and beyond, local communities will continue to be at the heart of our sustainability efforts.

Last week was a special milestone for all of us at Valency — we hosted the very first Valency Employee Awards, celebrated simultaneously across our corporate offices in Africa, Asia, and Europe for our overseas employees.

This moment is more than just an event — it’s a reflection of the values that power Valency: celebrating excellence, fostering a culture of collaboration, and recognising the people who make our mission possible every day.

From multiple locations across Africa to Vietnam, from Dubai to Geneva, teams came together to honour colleagues whose dedication, innovation, and integrity have driven impact across continents. Some of our awardees have been with Valency almost since its inception 17 years ago — a true testament to their loyalty, passion, and the strong culture we have built together. What made the celebrations even more special was that every awardee credited their teammates for their achievements — reminding us that success at Valency is truly a shared effort.

These celebrations remind us that while our operations span geographies, our purpose unites us — to build sustainable supply chains, strengthen food security, and create shared value for the communities we serve.

The next phase of the recognition and reward effort will be rolled out across all operational locations across the globe.

Congratulations to all our awardees! Your commitment inspires us to keep pushing boundaries and growing stronger, together.
