The article highlights the potential business cooperation between Vietnam and West African countries in the cashew industry. Vietnam, the world's largest exporter of cashew kernels, relies heavily on West African countries for raw cashew nuts, accounting for 70% of its imports. However, due to the conflict in Russia-Ukraine and other global challenges, Vietnam's cashew export value has decreased, and it is facing difficulties in both production and export. In response, Vietnam is encouraging cooperation with countries rich in raw materials and promoting mechanization, automation, and innovation in the cashew industry. Meanwhile, West African countries are struggling with job shortages and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading some to consider banning the export of raw cashew nuts to foster domestic processing. This could impact the import and export of agricultural products, particularly affecting Vietnam. The article underscores the need for a strategic approach to develop domestic raw materials and enhance cooperation with countries like West Africa to address the inefficiencies in the global cashew supply chain.
