Accra, Ghana — September 2026
Accra became a meeting point for Africa's cashew industry from 15th to 18th September 2026, as industry leaders, policymakers, investors, producers, processors, development partners and other stakeholders gathered for the 2026 African Cashew Alliance (ACA) Annual Cashew Conference and Expo.
Held at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, the four-day international conference brought together more than 600 participants from over 30 countries, representing different segments of the global cashew value chain. The event provided a platform for stakeholders to discuss the future of Africa's cashew industry, explore investment opportunities, share technical knowledge and develop partnerships.
The conference was organised under the theme “Sustainable Cashew Supply through Policy, Investment and Partnership,” highlighting the need for coordinated action to build a competitive, resilient and sustainable cashew industry across Africa.
A Major Gathering for Ghana's Cashew Industry
The 2026 conference came at an important time for Ghana's agricultural and economic development agenda.
Ghana, which previously hosted the ACA Annual Conference in 2013, is seeking to strengthen agro-industrialisation, expand non-traditional exports and increase value addition within the agricultural sector. Cashew represents an important opportunity in this regard, particularly through increased processing, job creation, rural development and regional trade.
The conference therefore provided an important platform for stakeholders to examine the progress of the African cashew industry, identify emerging challenges and explore opportunities for investment, innovation and collaboration.
Four Days of Industry Engagement
Throughout the four-day programme, participants took part in high-level discussions, technical sessions, business engagements, networking activities and the ACA Annual Cashew Expo.
The opening ceremony brought together senior government officials, international development partners, industry leaders and other stakeholders. The programme also featured technical discussions addressing issues including investment, digitalisation, climate change, access to finance, cashew processing, food safety, traceability, agronomy and market development.
The exhibition component provided businesses and organisations with an opportunity to showcase cashew products, technologies, innovations and services, creating additional opportunities for networking and business connections.
Together, the conference and exhibition created a comprehensive platform for stakeholders across the cashew value chain to exchange ideas and explore new opportunities.
Eagle Eye Projects & Events Behind the Scenes
Eagle Eye Projects & Events was proud to contribute to the successful delivery of the 2026 ACA Annual Cashew Conference and Expo through comprehensive event setup, photography and videography services.
From the preparation of the event environment to the documentation of key moments throughout the conference, the Eagle Eye team worked behind the scenes to ensure that the event was professionally presented and visually captured.
Event Setup and Production
A major part of Eagle Eye's responsibility was the setup and preparation of the event environment.
This involved ensuring that the conference and exhibition spaces were properly prepared to accommodate the various activities taking place throughout the four-day programme.
The setup played an important role in creating an environment suitable for keynote addresses, panel discussions, technical sessions, exhibitions, networking and other official activities.
Attention to presentation, branding, functionality and the overall attendee experience helped transform the venue into a professional setting befitting an international industry conference.
Professional Photography
With hundreds of delegates, speakers, exhibitors and industry stakeholders participating throughout the event, photography was an important part of documenting the conference.
The Eagle Eye photography team captured the key moments of ACA 2026, including:
- Opening and official ceremonies
- Keynote addresses
- Panel discussions
- Technical sessions
- Exhibition activities
- Networking engagements
- Meetings and business interactions
- Delegate experiences
- Group photographs
- Special moments throughout the conference
The photographs provide a lasting visual record of an event that brought together important stakeholders from Ghana, Africa and the international cashew industry.
Videography and Event Documentation
Beyond still photography, Eagle Eye Projects & Events provided videography services to document the conference and its activities.
The video production captured the atmosphere, key activities, speakers, delegates, exhibition spaces and major moments throughout the event.
For an international conference of this scale, professional video documentation provides more than a record of what happened. It helps preserve the stories, conversations and experiences of the event for future communication, marketing, reporting and stakeholder engagement.
Through its videography coverage, Eagle Eye helped create a visual narrative of ACA 2026 that can continue to communicate the significance of the conference beyond the four days in Accra.
Creating an Experience Beyond the Event
At Eagle Eye Projects & Events, event management goes beyond putting together a venue.
A successful event requires careful attention to planning, presentation, technical execution, visual communication and documentation.
ACA 2026 brought together multiple elements — from international delegates and government representatives to exhibitors, speakers, technical sessions and networking activities. Ensuring that these elements came together smoothly required coordination and attention to detail.
For Eagle Eye, the assignment provided an opportunity to apply its expertise in event setup, photography and videography to an international platform with participants from across the global cashew industry.
Showcasing Ghana to the Global Cashew Community
The hosting of ACA 2026 also placed Ghana in the spotlight as stakeholders from more than 30 countries gathered in Accra.
The event provided opportunities to showcase Ghana's cashew sector, businesses and investment potential while creating connections between local and international stakeholders.
The conference's focus on policy, investment and partnership also reflected the broader need for collaboration if Africa is to unlock greater value from its cashew industry.
With cashew production, processing, trade and value addition contributing to livelihoods across the continent, discussions around sustainable supply and investment remain important to the future development of the industry.
Another Milestone for Eagle Eye Projects & Events
For Eagle Eye Projects & Events, being part of the 2026 ACA Annual Cashew Conference and Expo represents another milestone in its growing portfolio of corporate, institutional and large-scale events.
From event setup and production to professional photography and videography, the team contributed to creating and documenting an international conference that brought together some of the key stakeholders shaping Africa's cashew industry.
The successful execution of the assignment reflects Eagle Eye's approach to event services: combining professional preparation, creative presentation and quality visual documentation to ensure that important occasions are not only successfully delivered but also effectively preserved.
As the 2026 ACA Annual Cashew Conference and Expo concluded in Accra, the conversations, connections and experiences created during the four-day gathering will continue to shape discussions around the future of Africa's cashew industry.
And through its work behind the scenes and behind the camera, Eagle Eye Projects & Events was proud to help bring that story to life.
