In this work, the gravitational deflection angle of photon in the weak field limit (or the weak deflection angle) and shadow cast by the electrically charged and spherically symmetric static Kiselev black hole (BH) in the string cloud background are investigated. The influence of the BH charge $Q$, the quintessential parameter $\gamma$ and the string cloud parameter $a$ is studied on the weak deflection angle using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, on the radius of photon spheres and on the size of the BH shadow in the spacetime geometry of the charged-Kiselev BH in string clouds. Moreover, we study the effects of plasma (uniform and non-uniform) on the weak deflection angle and on the shadow cast by the charged-Kiselev BH surrounded by the clouds of strings. In the presence of uniform/nonuniform plasma medium, increase in the cloud of string parameter $a$, increases the deflection angle $\alpha$. On the other hand decrease in the BH charge $Q$, decreases the deflection angle. Further we observe that an increase of the BH charge $Q$ causes a decrease in the size of the shadow of the BH. We notice that with increase in the values of the parameters $\gamma$ and $a$, the size of the BH shadow also increases and therefore the intensity of the gravitational field around the charged-Kiselev BH in string clouds increases. Thus the gravitational field of the charged-Kiselev BH in string cloud background would be stronger than the field produced by the pure Reissner-Nordstrom BH. Moreover, we use the data released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, for the supermassive BHs M87* and Sgr A*, to obtain constraints on the values of the parameters $\gamma$ and $a$.
