Working in Guinea-Bissau

The Guinea-Bissau economy is significantly based on agriculture and food production. They are the 6th largest producer of cashew nuts in the world, and export this and other produce to partners particularly in India and China.

Why work in Guinea-Bissau?

Guinea-Bissau is one of the more challenging places to live and work in Africa. The country is in the midst of a continued development, meaning there are less significant industries in which to work. The country has many natural resources, which is the main source of employment. Cashew nut production accounts for the majority of exports. The healthcare and education systems are very underdeveloped, and you will need access to private options for your safety and comfort. Crime is a particular issue, especially late at night, and you should follow security advice from your employer. It is essential to have a confirmed job role before travelling to Guinea-Bissau.
