Vietnam saw a significant increase in cashew nut exports in March, with a 93.6% rise in volume and a 92.4% rise in value compared to February. The first quarter of the year brought in over 839 million USD from these exports, despite a slight decrease in volume. The US was the largest market for these exports, followed by China and the Netherlands. Despite the US imposing a 46% reciprocal tax on goods from Vietnam, cashew nuts are expected to escape the highest tax rates due to their classification as a essential food product and the lack of domestic competition in the US market. The processed cashew nut market in the US is projected to grow to over 1.3 billion USD by 2035.
