Cambodia's first quarter export of processed cashew nuts surpassed 200 tons, a year-on-year increase of 312%, with the majority exported to China, Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan. The country also exported unprocessed cashews to Vietnam. This growth is due to local small and medium-sized enterprises attracting foreign investment, and the Cambodian government is encouraging the development of local cashew processing enterprises. The government has formulated a national cashew nut industry policy to further promote the industry.
