<p>In 2015, while many agricultural products export goes when the individual is increasing in volume and turnover. According to the Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas), this year's export turnover of this sector reached $ 2.5 billion, including $ 2.3 billion private thing - the highest ever, remaining oil and cashew production deep processing products. Not only 10 consecutive years leading export industries that still maintains a market share of 50% of the global cashew trade, about $ 5 billion / year. <br></p> <p>Cleaner production technology thanks <br></p> <p>More than 300 delegates enterprises (companies) is the import and export of articles, of which 65 are foreign companies from 30 countries to the International Conference of the 7th Article - 2015 by the Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas) held in HCM City last week. <br></p> <p>He Babatola Faseru, Vice President Union Article Africa, said it was "rendezvous gold" of the global business community thing. Because Vietnam is the leading importer of raw cashew in Africa, as well as processing individual countries to export most. More importantly, Vietnam is the producer of the equipment to help mechanized cashew processing sector that African countries want to learn. Therefore, in addition to the company, there is almost full as the representative organizations of the water supply nut (raw) materials from Africa such as the African Union Article (ACA), Cotton Council and nuts Ivory Coast (CCA), the Cashew Tanzania (CBT), the association which countries (Nigeria, Benin, Tanzania, Ivory Coast ...). International organizations such as Global Council (GCC), dried fruits County Council International (INC), Association of Food Industries USA (AFI), China Grain Association were also present. <br></p> <p>We can say that this annual event of the industry in Vietnam is increasingly attracting those in the global cashew sector by role, location and especially the quality of Vietnam Cashew is the foreign importers confirmed the best, not only distinctive flavor that fat indicators such as health benefit is higher than other domestic individual (project value cashews Research funded by INC). <br></p> <p>Before the integration, the importing countries and use different types of nuts, including individual, are gradually raising technical barriers. The cleaner production to ensure food safety and mechanization of processing individual becomes urgent needs to be addressed. <br></p> <p>According to Pham Van Cong, Deputy Chairman of Vinacas, science and technology plays a very important role in manufacturing processes cashews. To improve the process of processing by machine, branch of Vietnam has continued to improve and perfect matching technology for each stage in order to achieve high efficiency. With technology and the advent of devices silk shell, shelled nut cutter, sorter color sorting machine size ..., DN cashew sector has fallen by over 70% - 80% of workers, raise processing capacity increased 1.5 times, reduce production costs by 30% - 40% compared with craft, down 30% - 50% of the time during the processing steps, making the initiative production time, ensuring make deliveries, this rate fell to 5% from tank before near 20%. <br></p> <p>This is a breakthrough in the production of machinery processing, value-added products and enhance economic efficiency. Due to centralized production, less use of manual labor should be quality control, improve product value and importance than issues food safety are ensured. <br></p> <p>New Challenges</p> <p>Although food safety is advantageous branch of Vietnam has been resolved, but new challenges appeared. That is the demand of processing material at the African countries increasingly being here set out to enhance the value of the product, rather than the current crude export. According to the ACA, the member countries set a target of 35% of the production process in 2020. Even European importers and coordinating Global Council (GCC) also supports this view, for shortening time processing, transport and compared to the current price. According to Vice President of ACA, a limited number of African countries exporting raw priority by local processing (like Kenya, East Africa). <br></p> <p>Initially, branch of Vietnam have not threatened much from this trend, as not African countries on building the plant, install equipment that can operate smoothly as Vietnam. Need to have people know to operate, professional labor administration and factory efficiency. These, currently very few African countries can resolve, but in the long run will be a real challenge. Not only is the demand for on-site processing of African countries, but even third largest customer is China also intends to form a processing center instead of imported semi-processed cashew nuts from Vietnam. <br></p> <p>These risks require Vinacas to fit the strategic direction, as a branch of Vietnam which has overcome previous difficulties due to labor scarcity. The varieties selected to replace old thing now by high yielding varieties, which Vinacas the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development conducted for several years in order to improve the quality of cashew both productivity and quality, can help people not to turn their backs when trees Southeast region and Central Highlands under fierce competition from other industrial plants. <br></p> <p>Therefore, the active construction of domestic raw materials, especially the material which is considered as "capital" that is Binh Phuoc sector with seed quality than the water in nutrition and the right aroma of realism, along with experience in processing that the individual export companies in Vietnam are the advantages will help to maintain the competitive advantage of the industry in Vietnam with other countries. <br></p> <p>PUBLIC HEARING<br></p>
