Call for Proposals 2026: Build Your AgriCanvas and Turn Your Cashew Business Idea into a Climate-Smart Venture

Young and emerging entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for the cashew sector have an opportunity to transform their concepts into investment-ready and climate-smart businesses through the e-MOVE Call for Proposals: Build Your AgriCanvas. The initiative is designed to support promising agripreneurs who are developing innovative solutions across the cashew value chain. Through a combination of free online learning, business development tools, and potential kickstart prizes, participants can strengthen their entrepreneurial ideas and position themselves for future investment and growth.

Submission Window 3 gives eligible entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop and submit a viable business concept using the AgriCanvas framework. The Call for Proposals specifically invites innovative ideas connected to the cashew value chain, including cashew farming and production, processing, packaging, storage, logistics, marketing, agricultural technology, waste management, and financial or digital solutions.

Participants build on knowledge acquired through free e-learning courses on the e-MOVE platform. Rather than submitting a general business idea, applicants must demonstrate how their proposed venture can operate as a viable enterprise by detailing a business model, revenue streams, climate-smart practices, and capital requirements. Successful participants may receive valuable support, including EUR 2,000 in direct funding or business-enabling tools such as a laptop, tablet, or software to support their operations.
