Vietnam's cashew export industry experienced a decline in the first quarter of 2022, with a decrease of 6.7% in volume and 5% in value compared to the same period in 2021. The industry exported 105,000 tons of cashews, generating 630 million USD. This decline was due to a drop in traditional markets such as the Netherlands, Canada, China, Italy, and Russia, despite an increase in imports of W320 cashews in the US, Germany, UK, and France. A significant issue arose when many containers of cashew nuts exported to Italy had missing import-export documents, affecting the total volume and value of exports. However, most undocumented containers have been retrieved and delivered to customers.
