Vietnam's cashew exports in September 2021 increased to 50,000 tons, worth $340 million, up 6.2% in volume and 8.8% in value compared to August 2021. The average export price of cashew nuts in September 2021 was USD 6,800/ton. In the first nine months of 2021, Vietnam's cashew exports are estimated at 425,000 tons, worth 2.65 billion USD. The US is currently Vietnam's largest cashew export market. Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, Vietnam had to apply strict social distancing measures, leading to increased competition and high freight rates, impacting cashew exports to the US. Despite these challenges, the Vietnam Cashew Association forecasts that Vietnam's cashew exports will increase in the near future. However, raw cashew imports have also increased dramatically, with the majority imported from Cambodia.
