The CAC said that the current cashew price is already quite good, but the price will increase if Cambodian farmers comply with the standards of drying and quality assurance in accordance with international regulations ”. In addition, Cambodia’s cashew yield of this year is also quite good: ”an average of 1 to 1.5 tons/ha depending on land, planting method and crop maintenance. Some areas can yield up to 3 tons/ha. ” Cashew Association of Cambodia (CAC) added: “Despite the challenges of COVID-19, Cambodian farmers can sell RCN with the price from 1,500 USD to 2,000 USD/ton.

Cashew Association of Cambodia Note (CAC)
Mr. Suy Kokthean, Deputy and Sales Director of the Cambodia Cashew Association (CAC), said some provinces have started the cashew harvest season but cashew harvesting in these provinces has not yet begun due to the unfavorable weather conditions. “The harvest has already started in Kampong Cham province, Tbong Khmum, and some areas in Kampong Thom province,” he added.
Usually, cashew plantations start harvesting in early February and will end in mid-May. But this year, the harvest will be delayed and possibly lasts until June “We are optimistic that cashew nut prices will not be an issue in the next five years. The problem we face is climate change and we are currently working with experts to study new seedlings that are more resilient to climate change. The cashew seed that we are planting is M23 in Cambodia, which is well tolerant to today’s rapidly changing environmental conditions ” he added. Cambodia mainly exports raw cashews to Vietnam, Japan and China. The CAC tries to attract more buyers to this country, for the benefit of Cambodian farmers.
