Vietnam, Cambodia to develop cashew farming area
The Vietnam Cashew Association (VINACAS) is working with the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to establish a cashew farming area in Cambodia that is able to produce 1 million tonnes of material cashew annually.
Addressing the event, Thanh said Vietnam has remained the world’s largest exporter of cashew and seen a robust growth of the cashew processing industry in recent years.

Director-General of the Cambodian General Department of Agriculture Hean Vanhorn said Cambodia looks forward to Vietnam’s support in cultivating and harvesting techniques and quarantine technologies to ensure the cashew productivity and quality.
VINACAS decided to provide Cambodia with VND1.5 billion in financial support for the development of the plan from 2018-2022.
Cambodia is currently Vietnam’s fifth biggest supplier of raw cashew and if the plan works out well, it will become the world’s largest raw cashew producer in the future.
