Vietnam remains globe’s biggest cashew exporter
VOV.VN - Vietnam maintained its 10-year lead as the world’s top commodity exporter of raw cashew nuts in 2015, according to a March 4 announcement by the Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas).
“Vietnam exporters shipped 330,000 metric tons of cashew nuts valued at US$2.5 billion to foreign markets in 2015,” said Vinacas. The major overseas markets included the US, China and the EU.
However, other countries are gaining in sales, so the Vietnamese industry needs to continue to innovate and improve its processing technology with a focus on enhancing product quality, food safety and hygiene in processing, said Vinacas.
