Vietnam's cashew exports in the first quarter of 2022 saw a decrease of 6.7% in volume and 5% in value compared to the same period in 2021, totaling 105,000 tons and 630 million USD respectively. This decline is due to a drop in demand from key markets like the Netherlands, Canada, China, Italy, and Russia, despite an increase in imports from the US, Germany, UK, and France. Additionally, a significant incident involved the loss of import-export documents for many cashew containers, leading to a further decrease in the total volume and value of exports. However, most of the containers have since been located and delivered to customers.
