According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade: “Vietnamese cashew nut kernels exports slightly rise in July 2021 due to growing demand in both the United States and the EU. Although Vietnam’s cashew export volume increased, gains in export value were minimal. In addition, the pandemic, lockdown, reduced trade dealings, shipping container shortages, and skyrocketing freight shipping cost greatly impacts the Vietnam Cashew Export, at the moment, The freight cost for 20-foot containers Vietnam to the US is currently 4,000 USD/cont, containers Vietnam to Europe are about 6,000 – 7,000 USD/cont, up 5 times compared to the time before the epidemic.”
Exported 50,000 Tonnes Of Cashew Nuts
More consumers prefer Vietnamese cashew nuts, reflected through an expansion of the market share of the product in Vietnam’s total import value. July 2021, the Vietnam Cashew nut industry exported 50,000 tonnes of cashew nuts worth US$324 million, a rise of 19.6% in volume and 33.5% in value compared to July 2020. In the long term, the US and EU market for cashew nuts kernels is expected to show stable growth (average of 5% per year). This growth is likely to be driven by changes in the eating habit of consumers, including the rising demand for healthier snacking options and vegetable sources of protein. Plain cashew nut kernels without any additions are increasingly being offered, as well as different roasting flavors. In addition, cashew nuts are increasingly being used as ingredients in fruit and nut bars, breakfast cereals, nut spreads, nut drinks, ice cream toppings, cookies, and other sweets.

Covid 19 Outbreak: Threat of Disruption in Vietnam Cashew Supply chain
However, At the moment, Almost all Cashew factories in Vietnam are only trying to handle old orders. They are very cautious in accepting new orders because of the COVID-19 epidemic. The Reduction in processing capacity will likely reduce the storage of cashew kernels in Vietnam. The GOV of Vietnam has put the entire southern region in lockdown, making Cashew Kernel Prices have jumped up sharply over the last week.

The Letter From Mr. Bob Bauer, Chairman Of The US Association Of Food Industries (AFI) Sent To Vietnam Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh
Cashews nuts are a particularly important commodity, and the US market accounts for nearly one-third of the total value of $3.5 billion in Vietnam’s annual cashew nut exports. Keeping the supply stable is the key to ensuring continued Viet Nam economic growth. Covid 19 Outbreak greatly impacts the supply of Vietnamese cashew kernels to the world market in general and the US market in particular. The risk of disruption to Vietnam’s cashew kernel supply is a concern of many importers around the world. “The Vietnam Cashew Association sent AFI’s proposal to the Prime Minister.
