About NutsPay

NutsPay is a new financial system that supports the cashew nut market in Cambodia. It is said that 80% of citizens in Cambodia are too poor to have a bank account. NutsPay is a social lending project for the cashew nut market and will use SHANTI’s blockchain technology. The project aims to revolutionize the Cambodian economy with blockchain.

The country currently produces 1.1 million tons of cashews each year, which trade at about $1,500 per ton. If NutsPay becomes a reality, it’ll be active on a cashew market worth $1,650,000,000.

The cashew business is gaining global attention in terms of SDGs as well. Recently, the World Economic Forum (WEF), hosted and organized by the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting (Davos Meeting), decided to invest in Cambodian agriculture in its long-term vision. In addition, cashews are becoming a growth market recognized around the world, with large-scale investments being made by financial institutions that are members of the World Economic Forum for the next 10 years.
