Tanzania is still awaiting the payment of Tsh418 billion ($180.2 million) for 100,000 tonnes of cashewnuts it sold to a Kenya-based company in a deal signed in Arusha on January 30.
This past week, Industry and Trade Minister Joseph Kakunda said that the consignment will not be released to the Thika-based firm until it has completed all legal, commercial and financial procedures, including securing insurance cover.
