According to Mr. Bach Khanh Nhut, Vice President of the Vietnam Cashew Association (VINACAS), the reason for the decrease in cashew exports in the first two months of the year is due to the somewhat sluggish market this year.
Buyers are waiting for the new season to begin. Additionally, there is a significant amount of inventory from previous purchases, and overseas warehouses are still holding large stocks, so importers are limiting their purchases.
Regarding the market outlook, Mr. Bach Khanh Nhut believes that from April to May onwards, the market will become more active, and sellers will be able to sign more contracts.
In 2024, Vietnam exported 730,000 tons of processed cashew kernels, earning US$4.37 billion, an increase of 13.3% in volume and 20.2% in value compared to 2023. The average export price was approximately US$6,003 per ton, a 6.1% increase compared to 2023.
