ABIDJAN Joey Votto Jersey , March 8 (Xinhua) -- Cote d'Ivoire authorities have managed to halt fraudulent export of 15,000 tons of cashew nuts to neighbouring Ghana, just two months after the start of the 2016 harvesting season, security sources said Monday.


The last seizure of 10,000 tons of cashew nuts that was carried out on March 4 by the Cote d'Ivoire army in the country's northeast regions of Bondokou and Transua bordering Ghana, brought the total seizure since early February to about 15,000 tons Joe Morgan Jersey , the sources added.


Bondoukou region is not only the biggest producer of cashew nuts in Cote d'Ivoire, but also the region with highest incidents of illegal export of the product towards Ghana, especially due to the porous borders.


For the last four years, the government decided to wage a war against illegal export of cashew nuts, which hit a record 100,000 tons in 2012, representing a quarter of the 450 Homer Bailey Jersey ,000 tons produced that year nationally.


According to a specialist in the industry, the illegal export is caused by higher buying price in Ghana as compared to that in Cote d'Ivoire.


"A farmer who exports his produce through the Abidjan port spends at least 600,000 CFA Francs (1,000 U.S. dollars) on transport against 150,000 CFA Francs for the farmer who exports to Ghana, where a kilogram of cashew nuts sells between 400 and 500 CFA Francs against 250 to 350 CFA Francs in Abidjan," he explained.


Due to the persistence of the problem Drew Storen Jersey , Cote d'Ivoire government has initiated industry reforms to ensure farmers get higher prices for their produce.


Cote d'Ivoire's production increased from 565,000 tons in 2014 to 702,000 tons in 2015, making the country the biggest cashew nuts producer in the world, ahead of India with 650,000 tons and Vietnam with 325,000 tons.


SHANGHAI Devin Mesoraco Jersey , May 1 (Xinhua) -- Aged just two and a half, Wu Rui follows her mother to work every morning, joining her peers in day care while her mother works in an office a few paces away.


Zhang Yi and her daughter have followed a similar schedule almost every week-day for a year, using the same day care center.


Before the center was launched last April, baby-sitting was a headache for Zhang, a computing engineer with Ctrip, a Shanghai-based travel service.


"Very few nurseries accept children under three Dave Concepcion Jersey , and even if they do the children are dismissed at 3 or 4 p.m. when parents are still busy at work," she said. "As a result, most toddlers stay home with grandparents. But when they are ill or out of the city, baby-sitting becomes a big problem."


Last year, her company began to offer day care for employees' children aged from 18 months to three years. From 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the children are tended by nurses and teachers, served meals Chris Sabo Jersey , told stories and enjoy outdoor activities.
