A kg of raw nuts makes about 250gm of processed  nuts. Not apples to apples comparison. Lifting the ban aught to be permanent, let the local processors compete with international buyers. Farmers have been subsidizing the processors.

This is wrong. Farmers do the bulk of the work but getting the least money. It is immoral.
Does the ministry of agr manage how agri products are sold and advise farmers?
If not parliament should mandate that every agri product be managed. Excess should be sold to counties who in turn may sell to other entities.
A good politician will tell you the problem, but an effective politician will create effective policy to solve the problem, then tell you what the problem was.
