Ronald Alwang’a, 39, has never regretted quitting formal employment to venture into cashew nuts business.

Five years down the line, Alwang’a who operates a makeshift stall along Langoni Road-off Digo Road in Old Town - Mombasa no longer operates under the shadow of the old friend who introduced him to the trade. He has since mastered the nuts and bolts of this business.
