The Vietnamese Prime Minister, Pham Minh Chinh, has directed several top officials to investigate and address the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars by cashew export businesses due to a fraudulent incident involving the return of documents by Turkish and Italian banks. This incident has left businesses unsure of the status of their goods and concerned about potential theft. The Vietnam Cashew Association has urged the Prime Minister to coordinate efforts to retain shipments, prevent release of goods to consignees, and allow businesses to receive their goods back.
