The South Central Coast and Central Highlands have an area of 121.2 thousand ha of cashew cultivation, accounting for 36 of 8. % the cashew area in Vietnam, in which the main cashew growing provinces are Dak Lak 27.7 thousand ha; Gia

Lai 23.0 thousand ha; Lam Dong 20.6 thousandha;DakNong17.3thousand ha;BinhThuan16.5thousandha…

In recent years, due to the strongdevelopmentoftheprocessing industry, Vietnam's cashew output accounts for an increasingly low proportion of total demand for raw cashew nuts of the whole cashew industry. With an output of 400 thousand tons, Vietnam raw cashew nuts are accounting for about 25% of total demand for raw materials of the wholecashewindustry.

After more than 30 years of exporting to the world cashew market, Vietnam cashew has been highly appreciated by many international customers for its quality and taste. The development of domestic cashew tree production has a strategic significance, helping cashew enterprises partly take initiative in the source of raw materials, reduce their dependence on import in important times. High domestic demand is the basis for forming sustainable and high-quality raw material zones that ensure increasingly high standards of food safety.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa -

Vice , Head of

VINACAS President

Policy Board, Director of Bimico.,

Ltd said that the Association identified raw materials as the vital issue of enterprises. Therefore, for the past years, VINACAS has actively coordinated with the

provinces to implement the agricultural extension program of grafting to improve cashew orchards in order to improve the yield and quality of cashew, and at the same time mobilize member enterprises to supportandhelpfarmersfeelsecured togrowcashew.

Afterdecadesofbecominga key crop, Vietnam cashew industry has had good varieties, but still needs to be further improved in terms of yieldandquality.

According to engineer Pham Van Nguyen – a highly experienced expert on Vietnam cashew tree, in order to have good cashew varieties, Vietnam'sagriculturalsectorneedsto conduct an investigation of all existing cashew varieties in cashew growing localities to find cashew trees with high yield and best quality, from which organize the propagation tofarmersintheareatouse.

Simultaneously, it is the selection and creation of cashew varieties. Selection and creation of varieties should be done in a persistent way in order to select the best varieties (ensure two properties of a plant variety are uniform in morphology and stable through propagation cycles) to be recognized andputintovarietyproduction.

Another highly experienced cashew tree expert, engineer Pham Van Dau, also said that it was necessary to find good cashew trees in cashew farms for making varieties. In the cashew farm, there are trees that have a good crop every year, large seeds with high multiplication rate. Those are good individuals, a valuable genetic resource to create thenextgenerations.

Engineer Pham Van Dau shared, “Once good cashew trees have been found, they are marked and checked continuously in several years. The trees that are still good have branches taken to graft for propagation. For the grafting-based propagation, the rate of preserving thetraitofmotherplantisupto100%, 1,000 plants will be created upon grafting 1,000 plants. But if propagated by seeding, it will be strongly segregated, making the percentage of seedlings that are like the mother plant only a few percent, so it is difficult to choose good plants”.

In summary, in order to improve cashew yield, Vietnam's agricultural industry needs to organize selection in all cashew growing areas to find the best cashew trees to propagate and disseminate to farmers for widespread use. Only this way also helps the average yield of cashew in Vietnam become significantlyimproved.

IMPORT RAW CASHEW: PROPER EVALUATION OF CASHEW KERNEL MARKET BEFORE BUYINGRAW CASHEW

Thepriceofrawcashewnutsistoohighcomparedtothesellingpriceof cashew kernels, causing many Vietnam cashew processing and export enterprises to suffer losses in 2022. In 2023, when the cashew kernel market has been not bright abundant output of raw cashew enterprises need to , …. calmlyevaluatethemarketandthendecidetoimportrawcashew.

Unreasonable price of raw cashew demand for raw cashew import decreased. In addition, there was a fairly large volume of raw cashew in stock from 2021. Therefore, in 2022, although the volume of imported raw cashew decreased, it still was not used up, at the beginning of 2023, there was still quite a lot in stock of enterprisesandbondedwarehouses.

According to VINACAS, in 2022, Vietnam continued to be the leading country in importing raw cashew in theworld,butthevolumeofimported raw cashew decreased significantly. Specifically, statistics from the General Department of Vietnam Customs showed that in 2022, Vietnam imported nearly 1.9 million tons of raw cashew, down 34.6% comparedto2021.

Mr. Bach Khanh NhutStanding Vice of President VINACAS, Deputy General Director of Vinacontrol Vietnam; Chairman of The Administrative Council of Vinacontrol Ho Chi Minh City said that the sharp decrease in the volume of raw cashew import was due to market factors. The three largest markets of Vietnam cashew industry, including the US, EU and China, all recorded a reduction in cashew nut consumption due to high inflation, thereby reducing the purchasing powerofconsumers(theUS,EU)and Zero-COVIDpolicy(China).

Decrease in consumption and the price of cashew kernels in 2022 that fell to a very low level compared to previous years made export become difficult, so the

The volume of imported raw cashew in 2022 decreased much, but the price was too high compared to the price of cashew kernels. Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa - Vice President, Head of VINACAS Policy Board; Director of Bimico., Ltd. (Tay Ninh), said that the average price of imported raw cashew for the whole year was about USD 1,400/ton. In the context that the price of cashew kernels fell too low, the high price of raw cashew plus the sharp increase in production costs made the price of cashew kernels in 2022 much higher than the selling price, so in general, Vietnam cashew enterprises failed to gaineconomicefficiency.

Proper evaluation of the marketbeforebuyingrawcashew

Talking about the raw cashew market in 2023, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, said that the global supply of raw cashew was abundant because the output was still increasing by 15-20%/year, even

the output in Cambodia increased by 30%/year.

The high growth rate in global raw cashew output does not stop here because the cashew cultivation area in Cambodia and African countries in general increases year by year. When the area increases, the output will increase, and the increase will be even higher because many areas have just begun to be harvested, so the yield will increase in the coming years. Therefore, global raw cashew outputiscurrentlyatabout4.5million tons, with an increase of 15-20% per year,itwillincreasetoapproximately 5milliontonsinthenearfuture.

In recent years, besides importing raw cashew nuts, there have been a large number of cashew kernels imported into Vietnam for export processing. In 2021, imported cashew kernels were 1,000 tons (900 tons of cashew kernels with silk skin and 100 tons of white cashew kernels). In 2022, the number of imported cashew kernels was 2,600 tons, of which white cashew kernels were 300 tons, the rest werecashewkernelswithsilkskin.

Cashew kernels imported from Ivory Coast (accounting for 70-75%) and Mozambique (25-30%) show that the governments of these countries are encouraging the processing of cashew kernels instead ofexportingthewholerawcashewnutasbefore.

Cashew kernels imported to Vietnam are not much compared to total output of cashew kernels processed in Vietnam, but they also cause some problems. First of all, this number of kernels will "Occupy position" of the corresponding number of caschew kernels processed in Vietnam in export purchase orders, thereby affecting the work and life of a part of workers in the cashew industry. In addition, Vietnam authorities have almost no control measures on food safety for imported cashew kernels right from the stages of processing and preservation in the exporting country, thereby, possibly adversely affecting the quality of Vietnam cashew kernels in the world market. The quality of African raw cashew nuts in 2022 decreased compared to before, specifically, the kernel outturn rate decreased by 2 units. The main reasonwastheweather.

Averyremarkablethingisthatforthepast4-5 years, for raw cashew from Africa to Vietnam, the rate of mold, sprouting and weevils is very small. This shows that the warnings and recommendations of VINACAS at VINACAS Golden Cashew Rendezvous related to the quality of African raw cashew have been absorbedandimprovedbyexportersandtradersofraw cashewnutsinexportingcountries.

The growth rate of raw cashew output is higher than that of cashew kernel consumption under normal conditions (about 510%/year). In the context that the world economy has not been bright, especially in the major markets of cashewnuts,includingtheUSandthe EU, it is likely that the volume of cashew kernels consumed this year comparedto2022maynotincreaseor onlyslightlyincrease.

Mr. Cao Thuc Uy, Member of Standing Executive Members' Board, Head of VINACAS Science and Technology Board; Chairman of Members' Council of Cao Phat Company Limited also said that, with the development of the area of cashew growing countries and the application of advanced methods in intensive farming, post-harvest preservation, the global raw cashew output this year would continue to increase.

Therefore, according to Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, in the context of abundant raw cashew output in the world, a large number of raw cashew nutswerestillinstockinVietnamand also in India (evidenced by the fact that at the end of last year, the beginning of this year and possibly in the near future, there are many

batches of raw cashew nuts from India to Vietnam, each batch from hundreds to thousands of tons, which is something that has never happened before), then Vietnam enterprises do not need to rush to buy raw cashew when its price is unreasonably high compared to the export price of cashewkernels.

Mr. Cao Thuc Uy shared: “Vietnam cashew processors before deciding to import raw cashew. should calm down and realize that the supply of raw materials is more abundant this year, in contrast to the current rather quiet cashew kernel consumption market and the current trend of cashew kernel consumption; This situation of the world may continue in the coming time. I think that 2023 is a year that still has many unknown and promising things for Vietnamcashewindustry”...

CASHEW KERNEL EXPORTS: MARKET IS NOT BRIGHT?

Vietnamcashewenterprisessufferedconsiderablelossesin2022duetohighprice of raw cashew nuts while the price of cashew kernels was too low. In the context that the cashewkernelmarketin2023hasnotshownanybrightsign,thepriceofrawcashewnuts and cashew kernels needs to be more reasonable so that processors and exporters can surviveandcontinuetoplayanimportantroleintheglobalcashewnutvaluechain.

Huge damage to cashew kernelexporters

Recalling 2022, Mr. Tran Van Hiep - Vice President and Head of Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Board of VINACAS; General Director of My An Company, said that the world's major political and economic problems for the past year, such as Russia-Ukraine conflict, energy crisis, high inflation, raising interest rates by central banks... caused prices

to escalate, currencies to be depreciated in many countries, significantly affected the health of the economies of countries in general and the cashew kernel market in particular. The purchasing power has decreased, especially the price of cashew kernels has fell at a very low levelforthepast10years.

Meanwhile, global raw cashew output has been increasing. Mr. Vu Thai Son, Member of StandingExecutiveMembers'Board,

Deputy Head of Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Board of VINACAS; Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Long Son Joint Stock Company, said that, with advances in science and technology in agriculture, the world's raw cashew output was increasing. At the same time, the output of many other types of nuts also increased, including nuts such as almonds, the supplyexceededdemandquitealot.

According to some entrepreneurs in the Vietnam cashew industry,cashewkernelimportersnot only looked at the cashew kernel market but also looked at the raw cashew output and the supply and demand of other nuts to determine thepriceofcashewkernels.

Due to the above factors in 2022, although the global consumption of cashew kernels in general did not decrease, the number of cashew kernels exported by Vietnam did not decrease much, the export price of cashew kernels decreased sharply and at a too low rate. Meanwhile, the price of raw cashew was too high and unreasonable compared to the price of cashew kernels. Mr. Tran Van Hiep affirmed that it was the low price of export cashew kernels while the high import price of raw cashew nuts was not disproportionate to the export price of cashew kernels that caused damage to enterprises and the wholeVietnamcashewindustry.

Whatwillbein2023?

Information from entrepreneurs in the Vietnam cashew industry shows that, in the early days of 2023, the cashew kernel market has been still quiet. Mr. Tran Van Hiep said, after the Lunar New Year, farmers started to harvest cashew, enterprises also started handling raw materials and processing, but the number of contracts was quite limited. Previously, at the beginning of each year, most major EuropeanAmerican importers signed longterm contracts to buy cashew kernels in 6 months, many contracts in 9 months or more. But in early 2023, the contracts signed by importers only had the longest buying term to the middle of the year but in a limited number. In general, importers were buying at an indifferent level. Therefore, Mr. Hiep said that in the

According to the General Department of Vietnam Customs, in 2022, Vietnam exported 519,782 tons of cashew nuts, valued USD 3.08 billion, down 10.3% in volume and 15.1% in turnovercomparedto2022.

TheUSwasthelargestmarketforVietnam'scashewnutsin 2022 with 143,649 tons, valued USD 842,715 million. The second position was China market with 75,501 tons, valued USD 440.645 million. The third position was the Netherlands market with 53,368 tons,valuedUSD296,611million.

InTop10largestmarketsofVietnam'scashewnutsin2022, there were also Germany, Australia, the UK, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Israel. While cashew kernel export to most of Top 10 markets decreased in 2022, export to three markets in the Middle East region, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Israel, all increased in volume at 42.8%, 44.9% and 10.4%, respectively, which showed that cashew enterprises were changing direction, stepping up to exploit other potential markets in the contextofdifficultiesinconsumptionandpricesintheUSandEU.

coming time, the situation was still not positive for the export of cashew kernelsofVietnam.

However, there may still be a bright spot for the cashew kernel market when China abandoned the Zero-COVID policy. Mr. Phung Van Sam,Member of Executive Members' Board of VINACAS; ChairmanoftheBoardofDirectorsof Hanfimex Group, said that China's reopeningofthemarketfromJanuary 2023 would help the entire economy gradually regain confidence from manufacturers and consumers. China had a very large population, after a long stay at home due to ZeroCOVID policy, Chinese people would travel more in the near future. This helped the circulation and consumption of cashew nuts in China marketbecomebetter.

Mr. Vu Thai Son also said that the bright spot in 2023 may come from China, but the market share was not large, the highest time may only account for about 10% of Vietnam's export cashew kernels. Some markets were stable such as Japan, Korea, Australia ... the volume of

cashew nut consumption was not much. Meanwhile, two markets that used the most cashew s, the US kernel and the EU, were still very difficult. Therefore, Mr. Son said, in general, the cashew kernel market in 2023 wasstillnotbright.

Although the market in general is still not positive, Vietnam cashew enterprises still have to maintain processing, finding purchase orders, consuming ... In the context when the market is very difficult, in order to achieve economic efficiency, enterprises have to carefully calculate costs, especially the cost of raw cashew. Accordingly, enterprises must thoroughly grasp the supply and demand situation in the raw cashew market and only buy raw cashew at a reasonable price, so that after adding allcosts,theystillgetaprofit.

At the same time, importers also need to have a more reasonable purchase price so as not to cause damage to cashew kernel processors and exporters, thereby creating a stable and sustainable global cashew nut value chain and all involved partiesbenefit.

TALKING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF VIETNAM CASHEW ASSOCIATION (VINACAS) - MR. PHAM VAN CONG:

VIETNAM CASHEW INDUSTRY: IF COMPLACENT, SUBJECTIVE, IT WILL LAG BEHIND!

“Cashews of Vietnam" - Vietnam's cashew brand has been confirmed in the world with 4 best ones: Maintaining the leading position in the world in exporting cashew kernels from 2006 to present. The cashew producing country recognized by international customerstohavethebestquality.Vietnamisthe country with the most advanced technology and equipment for processing cashew kernels and is the largest raw cashew importer for processing andexport.

On the occasion of the 12 VINACAS th Golden Cashew Rendezvous, we had a talk with Mr.PhamVanCong-ChairmanoftheVietnam Cashew Association (VINACAS) about the issue that the cashew industry must overcome challenges so that the world always thinks about Vietnam when the cashew industry is mentioned.

*Caûmônoâng!

* In your opinion, how did COVID-19 pandemic appearring and lasting, then Russia - Ukraine war affect Vietnamcashewindustry?

First of all, I would like to emphasize, cashew nut always holds a high position in the group of key agricultural export products of Vietnam, exported to more than 100 countries and territories; is one of the nine largest groups with export strength of Vietnam participating in the Program on Building a Brand Strategy for Vietnam Food Industry. From 2020 to 2021, COVID19 pandemic disrupted supply chains, production and business fell into a serious crisis in many aspects and the Vietnam cashew industry was no exception. It could be said that this was a period when the global cashew industry, including Vietnam, encountered many difficulties in an unprecedented manner and now still has tofaceunforeseenchallenges...

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, for the past three years (in 2020, 2021, 2022), the biggest trade promotion activity of Vietnam cashew industry: the VINACAS Golden Cashew Rendezvous organized annually by VINACAS-a"rendezvous"ofthosewhoareinterestedin theworldcashewindustry–hadtobepostponed.

From the beginning of January 2023, China eased the management of COVID-19 pandemic, but with the Zero-COVID policy for the past three years, export to this market faced many difficulties. When the pandemic was not still been completely controlled, in February 2022, when the war between Russia and Ukraine occurred,theworldfacednewdifficulties,andthecashew industrywasnoexception

*Sir,whichotherchallengesaffectedthecashew processingandexportindustryinVietnam?

Recently, new challenges have appeared from the countries related to cashew industry activities, the countries that are major partners of Vietnam cashew industry, which have had a strong impact on the market and activities of Vietnam enterprises. That is the change and supplementation of trade policies of the

cashew industry, such as specifying floor price of exporting raw cashew from African countries; sharply increasing the import tax and minimum price of Indian cashew nuts; Strictly regulating origin of goods, packaging, labeling of agricultural products and food imported across China's border, European food safety norms that are set at a too high level... Those policies has been and will be the pressure affecting the development of the cashew processing industry in Vietnam. The Vietnam cashew industry is facing challenges, but also new opportunities. The deeper and deeper integration of Vietnam with the world brings great opportunities for the cashew industry to develop production, business and market expansion, of course, the competition will be fiercer.

*Althoughwemasterequipmentandtechnology, thisisalsoabigproblemfortheindustry,isthatright,sir?

That's right! This is the strength of Vietnam cashew industry, but if we are complacent and subjective, we will fall behind. In terms of technology, Vietnam has not really mastered the technology of color sorting and sizing by machine. China is the country dominating this technology and Vietnam enterprises have recently brought equipment from India to this stage in the production line. Therefore, it is necessary to have a methodical strategy to increase the value of cashew nuts; promote cooperation with science and technology organizations to deploy programs to automate the entire cashew kernel processing procedures; shift from preliminary processing of cashew kernels and exporting semi-finished products to fine processing,bringingproductsdirectlytosupermarkets.

VINACAS is promoting the development of "Strategy to develop Vietnam cashew industry in a new situation" to submit to the Government. In which, proposing mechanisms and policies to achieve two objectives: Strongly develop deep processing to gain a worthy position in the global cashew value chain and strongly develop the raw material zone in the direction of qualityandefficiency.

But we think that, if viewed from a positive perspective, these challenges are also an opportunity to help Vietnam cashew industry gain more motivation, mobilize human and physical forces to once again conduct a "revolution" on technology and equipment, meeting the needsofdeeptransformationincashewprocessing.

CASHEW INDUSTRY IN 2023: DIFFICULT BUT STILL OPTIMISTIC

Entering 2022, enterprises expected to gradually restore their production and businesswhenCOVID-19pandemic(2020-2021)ispushedback,buttheyfacedfurther difficulties due to Russia-Ukraine conflict. The political - economic - social situation in manycountriesfluctuatedinabaddirection…

Endof10yearsofcontinuousgrowth

The impact of Russia-Ukraine conflict caused a global food and energy crisis, high inflation in many countries and higher living costs, so people limited their spending. As a result, the purchasing power of non-essential foods such as nuts and seeds, includingcashewnutswereaffected.

Looking back to 2022, importers and processors were slow to buy raw cashew nuts in most periods. The cashew kernel market in general, especially the traditionalmarketofVietnamcashewindustry,declined.

According to the analysis of Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa - Vice Presidentand Head of Policy Board of VINACAS in , Director of BIMICO Company, enterprises the major companie industry, especiallymanufacturings, needed andtolookbacktoseethatin2022,manufacturing processing did not decline, did not export volume decrease much, turnover decreased by USD but export 200-300 million. raw in Regarding cashew materials, early 2022, there was a shortage forecast but at the middle and the end of the year, it was showed that the average annual number of raw cashew nuts was never short. Because there was no shortagethe price , of cashew kernels was difficult to increase according to the law of supply and demand. The number in the of cashew kernels EuropeandUSmarketswasnotasshortasthatinprevious years, while another major market of Vietnam cashew, China, declined because this country maintained its ZeroCOVIDpolicyuntiltheendof2022.

Therefore, behind the figures in the report were countless that each enterprise difficultiesin the past year had to face. From the price of raw materials at USD 1,200/ton at the beginning of the of raw cashew nuts season, "apparent shortage when there was a situation of of raw cashew", price increased to USD 1,400/ton in the combination with increase in costs such as labor, materials, packaging, electricity…, which pushed the up price of raw cashew, while the selling price of cashew kernels decreased. As a result, in 2022, the cashew

industry onlydid not meet the targets set not by the Ministry of but also Agriculture and Rural Development the efficiency in production and processing many of enterprises was or not high, except for zero some enterprises specialized in the export of cashew kernels. Most of pure processing enterprises hardly recorded profit survive.,hadtostruggleto

Ta Quang Huyen, Member of Standing

Executive Members' Board of VINACAS, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoang Son 1 Joint Stock Company (Binh Phuoc) said : “ For a long time, the world price of raw cashew has been quite stable, so many countries expanded cashew growing area, making raw cashew output increase faster than consumption demand. When the Russia - Ukraina conflict broke out, in order to reduce inflation, the US Federal Reserve (FED) repeatedly raised interest rates, the EU also took similar measures, the world cashew importers and wholesalers could not afford interest rates, so they limited or did not purchaseandstoreinstockasbefore.Alongwithinflation, due to an impairment in consumption, so for the first time my company has failed to grow in sales instead of an average increase of 20% per year for ten consecutive years".

Mr. Ta Quang Huyen, Member of Standing Executive Members' Board of VINACAS

Vietnam is the world's No.1 cashew processor, No.1 kernel exporter and also No.1 raw cashew importer, such three No. 1 have to create an actual advantage that is to do something to gain profits but not enterprises "do for free" while they are No. 1. With the current equipment and technology, the production cycle of cashew kernel processing factories in Vietnam is very fast, enterprises do nothavetobuyrawcashewattherateofaboveUSD1,000/ton.

According to VINACAS, 2022 terminated the period of export growth that lasted for 10 consecutive years (2011 - 2021) of Vietnam cashewindustry.

No shortage of raw cashew, so purchase at a necessary quantity

According to Mr. Bach Khanh Nhut, Standing Vice Chairman of VINACAS, Deputy General Director of Vinacontrol Vietnam, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vinacontrol Ho Chi Minh City, cashew export situation in 2022 – 2023 period seemed to be more difficult than in 2019 – 2021 period. Cashew consumption was still slow, prices were difficult to increase. Sharing this view, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa said that he has not seen the "pink color" ahead.

Spending on non-essential foodsuchascashewnutsisforecastto continuetodeclineinalongtime.Mr.

Ta Quang Huyen commented: “ In 2023, cashew kernels in major markets are in surplus. With high interest rates, world traders do not rushtobuycashewkernelswhenthey do not know consumption force. With high interest rates, customers do not buy much, pushing inventories to Vietname cashew processing enterprises. While domestically, bank interest rates are 1.5 - 2 times higher, which means that all inventories in Vietnam will be subject to a double financial cost compared to them in 2022. In my opinion, the high financial cost in combination with the fact that

importers do not buy and store, although the industry faces many difficulties every year, will make 2023 become an extremely difficult year.

Mr. Tran Van Hiep - Vice President and Head of Foreign AffairsandTradePromotionBoardof VINACAS, General Director of My An Co., Ltd said that it may have to wait more to see how the market was. Cashew kernel prices were at the lowest level. The prices last year were low, while the prices this year were even lower. Therefore, enterprisesshould not rush to sign raw cashew import contracts when the price and can not be is still high balanced to the export price of cashew kernels. Therefore, it is necessary to balance reasonable input - output pricesso that it is profitable, avoids losses like in previous years. In addition, pay attention to closelyinspecting the quality when importing raw cashew to avoid the risk of being mixed with raw cashew nuts from theold crop in 2022, due to the large number of raw cashew nuts in the old crop currently in stock from Africa, India, and even Vietnam'sbondedwarehouses.

According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Hoa, Vietnam is the world's No.1 cashew processor, No.1 cashew kernel exporter and also No.1 raw cashew importer, such three No. 1 have to create an actual advantage that is to do something to gain profits butnotenterprises"doforfree"while they are No. 1. With the current equipment and technology, the production cycle of cashew kernel processing factories in Vietnam is

very fast, enterprises do not have to buy raw cashew at the rate of above USD 1,000/ton. They will purchase at a necessary quantity because this year there is no shortage of raw cashew. Input materials account for over 85% of production costs. If calculated by cashew kernel price of USD 2.6/lbs (0.45kg), in order for the manufacturing to achieve efficiency, the price of raw materials must be at least USD 200/ton lower than the current price. The current kernel price being sold at USD 2.5 - USD 2.6/lbs is ahead of the raw material price.

In terms of production costs, besides the increase in bank interest rates, the cost of packaging and transportation workers also increased, which means that total production cost this year almost doubled. In this context, some enterprises took the initiative in reducingproductionoutput.

Although in 2023, FED is likely to raise interest rates at a very low rate or not much, US enterprises may reduce salary, due to the decrease in working hours, income of workers will decline. Those are the factors that make cashew kernel prices fall this year. Therefore, processors are not in a hurry to buy rawmaterials.

According to VINACAS Information Council, in 2023, cashew production and supply chain in the world and in Vietnam will continue to face many difficulties and

Mr. Tran Van Hiep - Vice President and Head of Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Board of VINACAS

challenges. The issue of inflation, economic recession, the State Bank of Vietnam's credit tightening policy, USD/VND exchange rate fluctuations, decline in consumption, increasing processing costs have a strong impactonthegrowthofthecashewindustry.

In the same opinion, but Mr. Vu Thai Son, Member of Standing Executive Members' Board, Deputy Head of Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Board of VINACAS,ChairmanofBinhPhuocCashewAssociation, Chairman of the Board of Directors - General Director of Long Son Joint Stock Company, has a more optimistic viewwhenthinkingthat:Itistruethattherearedifficulties

in the cashew kernel consumption market, but in 2023, thereisacorporation,afteraperiodofstronglybuyingraw cashew to "hold" the market, that has currently "let go". Domesticcashewprocessingfactorieshaveopportunityto buy raw materials from Cambodia and Africa at a more reasonable price. Therefore, cashew processing activities in 2023 will be "brighter". Because if Vietnam cashew processors can buy raw cashews at the reasonable price, the chance of success will be higher. However, Vietnam cashew farmers in 2023 may not be able to sell at the same price as in 2022, because it is likely that the overall price ofrawcashewwilldecreasemorethanthatin2022.

VIETNAM CASHEW NUT PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY : GO LATER AND RETURN EARLIER

In 1983, the National Conference on Cashew was held in Binh Duong, the Statedetermined that cashew was a tree with commodity valuenecessary to focus on investment After that , it is for export. conference,theareaandoutputofcashewnutincreasedrapidly.

Suggestion of Mr. Pham Hung

Mr. Nguyen Van Lang

- former Vice President of Vietnam Cashew Association, who had much "destiny" in the beginning of the cashew processing industry (he passed away in late 2017), said, in the early 1980s, Mr. Pham Hung - Vice Chairman of Council of Ministers (known as ChairmanoftheCouncilofMinisters, i.e.thePrimeMinisterin1987),knew thathewasoneofthepeoplewhohad merit in exporting the first batch of raw cashew nuts after 1975, presented him with a box of roasted cashew kernel and suggested to study for processing, instead of raw export. That was the motivation for the group of engineers of the Export AgriculturalProductEnterpriseofHo ChiMinhCityCityunderImexco(Ho Chi Minh City General Import Export Company ) pioneered in research on cashew nut processing methods and technology from early 1980s. The group was led by Mr. Nguyen Van Men along with Mr. Nguyen Van Langwhowasacommercialofficerat that time, engineer Nguyen Thanh Phu, Nguyen Van Loi, Nguyen Minh Son, Le Cong Thanh.... to organize the implementation at Binh Dong Cashew Export Processing Factory, District 8 (belonging to Ho Chi Minh City's Export Agricultural Product Enterprise). It could be seen as the beginning of the mechanical cashew processing industry in Vietnam. In

1984, processing cashew equipment in Vietnam was according to the method of dipping nuts to cut, the cost was only 10% of imported equipment, initially realizing Mr. PhamHung'swish.

Equipmentimprovement

It can be said that the introduction of cashew processing equipment in Vietnam createda"revolution"fromexporting raw cashew nuts to exporting cashew kernels. At first, the cashew industry had great merit in dealing with idle labors in rural areas, sometimes up to 350,000 workers. But in the early 2000s, labor was scarce when industrial zones in the Southeast region - the raw material

concentration area of the cashew industry appeared more and more, the demand for labor was very high, especially the garment industry. attracted a large number of workers from the cashew industry. The original rudimentary equipment in processingwasnolongersuitable.

After many seminars, recognizing expert opinions, the Executive Members' Board of VINACAS evaluated that there was currently some groups of engineers and units that successfully tested the generations of automatic cashew shelling machine and testa peeling machine, if this force was gathered, innovation was maintained, Vietnam will create a new system of cashew shellingandtestapeelingmachines.

The procedure for processing cashew by machinery helps increase processing capacity by 1.5 times,reducingthetimeinthe processing cycle through stagesfrom30%to50%,helps shorten the processing time from delivery from warehouse to packing down to 7 days instead of 13-14 days. This is a breakthrough in cashew processing by machinery, helping increase product value and improve economic efficiency by reducing production costs by 30% - 40%. By-products such as cashew shells are refined into cashew nut shell liquid, exportedatahighprice.

In 2008, with the approval of the Government, VINACAS implemented the state-level program of "Improving technology, designing and manufacturing automatic cashew shelling machine and testa peeling machine in export cashew kernel processing line", code KC.07.DA13/06-10. Thereby, VINACAS gathered many scientists, engineers and enterprises so that technology and equipment continued to be improved, especially the cashewshellseparationstage.

Technologymastering

After two years of implementation, the program was excellently evaluated by the State Science Council (Council) (in 2010), with the following parameters: Cashew shell cutting machine reduces the percentageofbrokennutstolessthan 10% compared to over 30% of foreign equipment (with more than 10% manual labor), one machine cuts 1.6 tons of nuts/shift (equivalent to 10 - 12 workers). For testa peeling machine, broken kernel rate is less

than13.7%,yieldofnearly1.6tonsof nuts/shift (10 kg manual/labor/shift), cleanliness over 86%. It could be said thatalmostall13stagesincashewnut processing, such as cutting, separating and testa peeling are mechanized, reducing nearly 80% of labor.

The Council requested the program to be implemented quickly, so the Board of Directors immediatelyorganizedthetransferto Nhat Huy, Donafoods and Nam Long factories. From 2011-2012, new generations of Vietnamese cashew shelling machines and testa peeling machines were put into operation. The device's limitations and defects were continuously improved by the enterprises. The following ten years were a "boom" in the installation of equipment in factories, contributing to the transformation of Vietnam cashew industry from manual production to production by machinery, partly automated, bringing great socio-economic benefits: labor productivity increased by more than 10 times, food hygiene and safety were basically improved. Customers from different countries when visiting factories had to say: Great!

Talking about processing technology “Made in Vietnam ”, Mr. Pham Van Cong, President of VINACAS emphasized: “VINACAS made a clear mark through implementing KC.07.DA13/06-10 Science and Technology program, organizing free demonstrations and technology transfer to members. Thanks to the application of science and technology, mechanization and automation of the cashew kernel processing industry solved a series of problems, from labor scarcity, environmental pollution to product quality management, especially the issue of ensuring food safety and hygiene that was very concerned by cashewimportingcountries.

Combination with technology and the introduction of cashew shelling machine and testa peeling machine, colour grading, sizing machines, etc. helped the cashew industry reduce 70% - 80% of labor. The broken kernel rate significantly reduced compared to the previous manual production, especially the broken kernel rate decreased less than foreign similar equipment.

The procedure for processing cashew by machinery helps increase processing capacity by 1.5 times, reducing the time in the processing cycle through stages from 30% to 50%, helps shorten the processing time from delivery from warehouse to packing down to 7 days instead of 13-14 days. This is a breakthrough in cashew processing by machinery, helping increase product value and improve economic efficiency by reducing production costsby30%-40%.By-productssuch as cashew shells are refined into cashew nut shell liquid, exported at a highprice.

According to VINACAS

President Pham Van Cong, the biggest advantage of Vietnam cashew industry is the world's most advanced processing technology implemented by Vietnamese people. That is the great merit of the pioneers and is now the successor generation with well-trained engineers and workers, forming a strong team with cashew processing machinery and equipment manufacturing enterprises for domestic and export demand.

In early December 2017, The Wall Street Journal (USA) in the article " Who brought Vietnam to the position of dominating the world cashew manufacturing industry? ” wrote: “Now, Vietnam is the king of cashew nuts in the world thanks to the developedprocessingtechnology…''.

DEEP PROCESSING ENHANCES VALUE FOR VIETNAM CASHEW

From 2006 to now, Vietnam has always been leading the world in cashew nut export. However, in the global cashew nut value chain, Vietnam cashew industry only occupies a disproportionate position due to mainly preliminary processed cashew kernel export. Therefore, VINACAS and other enterprises arepromotingdeepprocessingtoincreasethevalueofVietnamcashew.

Thanks to investment in deep processing, many member enterprises of VINACAS not only increase the value of cashew nut export but are also gradually penetrating, creating a strong foothold in the domestic market. These are the brands that are gradually gaining trust with domestic consumers such as Casna (Tanimex-LA),Lafooco,Hapro ...

According to the Vietnam Cashew Association (VINACAS), for a long time, Vietnam mainly has been exporting cashew kernels. Meanwhile, most of the raw cashew materials brought and processed at Vietnam cashew factories are imported raw cashew with great value. For example, in 2022, when the cashew industry achieved an export 3.08 turnover of USD billion, it had to spend 2.678 to USDbillion import raw cashew. Therefore, despite holding the position as the world's largest cashew kernel exporter continuously from 2006 to now, Vietnam cashew industry still occupies a disproportionate position intheglobalcashewnutvaluechain.

Not only that, many African countries inherently only specializinginexportingrawcashew, for the past years, stepped up investment in cashew kernel processing. Thus, in the coming time, Vietnam cashew industry will face increasing competition from African countries in the world cashew kernel market. Meanwhile, the import market is tending to raise more and more food safety standards for cashewkernels.

In response to these realities, for many years, VINACAS has had orientations to promote deep processing in the cashew industry in order to increase export turnover as well as improve the value of

Trần Thanh

Vietnam's cashew nuts. At the same time, deep processing will also help cashew enterprises to penetrate into retailsystemsinthedomesticmarket, with instant cashew nut products with good quality and taste convincing Vietnameseconsumers.

With that orientation, for the past years, many enterprises have boldly invested and purchased modern equipment and machinery to enhance deep processing. In addition to traditional products such as salted roasted cashew nut, roasted and salted cashew kernels with testa, many enterprises researched and producednewandcreativeprocessed products that convinced consumers in many markets such as honey cashew nut, spiced cashew nut, wasabi cashew nut, white sesame dried cashewnut...

One of the enterprises that soonwentintodeepprocessingisTan An Foods Processing Export Company Limited (Tanimex - LA). From 2012, Tanimex – LA invested in deep processing with the first product being salted fried cashew nut. After that, Tanimex - LA developed other products such as honey cashew nut, wasabi cashew nut, roasted and salted cashew kernels with testa, and dried cashew nut.

Long Son Group is promoting processing and exporting deeply processed cashew nuts, mainly salted roasted cashew nut, roasted and salted cashew kernels with testa, salted fried cashew nut. In addition, there are products such as sesame cashew, cheese cashew, garlic cashew and chili cashew... Although deeply processed cashew nuts still account for a relatively modest proportion of Long Son's cashew export, the company is still persistently following this way to gradually increase the proportion of deeply processed products in the exportstructure.

Another leading name in exporting cashew kernels is Hoang Son 1 Joint Stock Company. It also invested in deep processing from cashew nuts, with the main products being fresh wood-roasted cashew nut, roasted and salted cashew kernels with testa... For the past time, many shipments of deeply processed cashew nuts from Hoang Son 1 have been successfully expsorted to the EUthankstotheEVFTAAgreement.

As one of the first enterprises in Vietnam to participate in the export of cashew kernels, for recent years, Long An Food Processing Export Joint Stock Company (Lafooco) has strongly shifted to the production of valueadded products from cashew nuts. Currently, Lafooco has many deeply processed products such as roasted and salted cashew kernels, honey cashew nut, wasabi cashew nut, coconut milk cashew nut... Lafooco's processed cashew nuts are sold at many stores and supermarkets in China, Hong Kong, Canada, Japan, Europe… In addition to exporting through traditional channels, Lafooco has sold goods overseas via Amazon e-commerce channel and received positivefeedbackfromcustomers.

In addition to deeply processedcashewnutproducts,many enterprises have produced and marketed many processed products with cashew nut ingredient such as cashew candy of My Le Company, salt-roasted mixed nuts (cashew, almond, walnut and pistachio) and Lafooco's Daily nutritious nuts (Cashew nut, Almond, Hazelnut, Blueberry, Cranberry and Walnut), Mixed Nuts (Cashew nut, Pistachio, almond, dried grape and walnut) of LongSonGroup...

VIETNAM CASHEW INDUSTRY "BUYS NEIGHBORS NEARBY"

Not being too dependent on markets or raw materials from a certain country or region will help reduce for cashew potential risks enterprises. In addition, the consolidation of the domestic raw material areawillhelpsolvethesourceofsupplyofprocessedmaterials.

From 2014 and earlier, Cambodia only sold about 30% of cashew nut output to Vietnam, but for the past years it has increased to more than 90% and has becometheleadingsupplierof raw cashew nuts in Vietnam. Cambodia is one of the few countries that produces raw cashew with good quality and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodiaisveryinterestedin cashew growing to improve thelivesoffarmers.

The weakness of Vietnam cashew industry is that domestic raw materials - recognized by international customers as having the highest quality - can only meet 2035% of the processing needs of enterprises, the rest has to be imported, most are from African countries - the region with the largest rawmaterialareaintheworld.

Cambodia - the country adjacent to Vietnam, is currently one of the countries with a fairly large area of land, about 500,000 ha that can be converted to cashew cultivation. Cambodia raw cashew hasaprettygoodquality.In2017,Mr.

Nguyen Duc Thanh (Chairman of VINACAS at that time) said that, in addition to rebuilding the domestic cashew area while preventing from

ñeán

the decline in area thanks to increased productivity, the Vietnam Cashew Association surveyed a number of places in Cambodia bordering Vietnam and found that the climate and soil were suitable for the growth of cashew trees similar to the Southeast region - the key area of Vietnam's raw cashew nuts. VINACAS coordinated with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Cambodia and the enterprises of this country to build a raw material area with 1 million tons of raw cashew nuts in the country of Tower Temple. Specifically, Cambodia side cooperated to plant 500,000haofcashew,VINACASand Vietnam cashew processing enterprises committed to buy the entire volume of raw cashew harvestedbyCambodiaside.

From 2014 and earlier, Cambodia only sold about 30% of cashew nut output to Vietnam, but for thepastyearsithasincreasedtomore than 90% and has become the leading supplier of raw cashew nuts in Vietnam. Cambodia is one of the few countries that produces raw cashew with good quality and the Ministry of Agriculture,ForestryandFisheriesof Cambodia is very interested in cashew growing to improve the lives of farmers. At the peak period, the cashew growing area in Cambodia was up to 300,000 ha, but due to unstable raw cashew prices and weak production organization, the area decreased to more than 100,000 ha. This country wished to received support from VINACAS in selection of varieties, cultivation techniques, harvesting and preservation

techniques in order to increase the yield and quality of cashew as well as ensure profits for cashew farmers. With the potential of climate, soil and varieties, if there is good coordination and organization, Cambodia can produce 1 million tons of raw cashew, surpassing Ivory Coast, becoming the world's largest producer of raw cashew. In addition, VINACAS also said that the South of Laos, a neighboring country adjacent to Vietnam and Cambodia, was also a potential area for expanding thew materialcashewgrowingarea.

The predecessors had a saying "Selling relatives at distant places, buying neighbors nearly". This proverb is suitable for the current situation of importing raw

cashew nuts. Cambodia has a concentrated raw material area, and Vietnam has strength in processing equipment and technology. The transport distance is very close. Experience shows that not being too dependent on markets or raw materials from a certain country or region will help reduce potential risks. In addition, the consolidation of the domestic raw material area will help solve the basic supply of processed materials - the key weakness of the Vietnam cashew industry.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thoaformer Vice Chairman of People's Committee of Binh Phuoc Province, and many experts such as Dr. Hoang Quoc Tuan, Engineer Pham Van Dau

all commented that if the scheme of cooperation in cashew growing and raw material procurement with Cambodia was well implemented, it would be very effective for both sides. Their side may take advantage of the vacant land fund, contributing to converting ineffective cassava to more sustainable cashew trees. Cooperation with Vietnam helps Cambodia improve the quality and yield of cashew, reduce post-harvest losses, especially have a stable consumption market. For Vietnam, there will be about 1 million tons of raw materials per year to meet the processing needs of factories; In the long term, gradually reduce dependence on raw materials from Africa.
