Cashew exports maintain strong growth in first half of 2015

The figures released on July 2 showed a 14 percent increase in volume and a 28.2 percent surge in value compared to the same period last year. Vietnamese cashew products have been exported to more than 50 countries, with the largest importers being the United States, China and the Netherlands. In addition to positive results, the biggest challenge facing cashew processors is their dependence on imported raw cashews. This dependence also led to instability in the price and quality of nuts, which eventually affects the quality of finished products for export.
