In a significant shift in the global cashew market, Vietnam has emerged as the leading supplier of cashew nuts to Japan, surpassing India's exports in both volume and value in January 2023, marking an 89.5% increase in volume and 71.8% increase in value compared to the same period last year. This achievement highlights Vietnam's growing influence in the Japanese market, which saw a notable reduction in imports from India. This success comes as Vietnam aims to reach cashew export revenues of $3.1 billion in 2023, a marginal increase from the previous year, despite challenges posed by global inflation and decreasing purchasing power. This success is further underscored by the fact that Vietnam has been the world's leading exporter of cashew nuts for the past 16 years, with the United States and China being its primary markets.
