By buying African Palms, you will be giving extra work to local villagers and farmers whose only other source of income is the sale of their cashew nuts. They will use this money to buy things like salt, soap and to cover transport costs to the nearest medical centres.
The palms are cut, dried and then cut into strips before being plaited. They are 100% natural, and bio-degradable. Conveniently dry and easier to transport, stock and display.
