Bunyanso Farms Cashew Plantation Agri-Tourism Enterprise is transforming traditional agriculture into a vibrant, educational, and culturally rich experience. Established in 1996, Bunyanso Farms is among the early pioneers of cashew plantation agri-tourism in the country, offering both locals and international visitors a unique window into the world of cashew cultivation and rural life.
With a strong emphasis on community engagement and cultural immersion, the enterprise provides hands-on opportunities for tourists to explore cashew farming, processing, and culinary innovation in an authentic rural setting.
Visitors to Bunyanso Farms can take part in a variety of activities, including:
• Harvesting cashew nuts straight from the trees
• Tasting local cashew delicacies such as cashew apple juice, cashew jam, cashew kebabs, and spiced roasted cashew nuts
• Touring rural cashew plantations and local processing units to witness how raw cashew apples and nuts are transformed into consumer-ready products
The farm also offers practical training for youth and women in cashew production and aquaculture, making it both a tourist attraction and a development hub for local communities.
In addition to the agricultural experiences, Bunyanso Farms provides farm-to-table meals, homestays, farm tours, and cultural performances, allowing visitors to connect deeply with the traditions and lifestyle of the Savannah Region. Periodic farm festivals and workshops further celebrate the heritage and importance of cashew farming to the region’s identity.
According to Mr. Sumani Iddrisu, Owner and CEO of Bunyanso Farms, the initiative goes beyond tourism.
“Bunyanso Farms Cashew Plantation Agri-Tourism Enterprise is about creating sustainable livelihoods, preserving culture, and educating the public on the importance of agriculture,” he said.
Key benefits of the enterprise include:
• Diversified income for local farmers beyond the sale of raw cashew nuts
• Educational opportunities on sustainable farming practices
• Cultural preservation of traditional farming and culinary methods
• Economic stimulation through job creation and increased tourism traffic
While countries like Vietnam have begun to embrace cashew agri-tourism, Bunyanso Farms stands as a trailblazer in Ghana, serving as a potential model for other cashew-growing areas in West Africa.
With rising interest in eco-tourism and sustainable travel, the enterprise is well-positioned to attract tourists looking for authentic, educational, and community-driven experiences.
