<p></p><p>Vietnam's cashew trading in the first two months of this year declined as increased prices of raw material for cashew nut caused difficulties for companies in production and exports, Xinhua reported. A report by Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development shows that the country imported 28,000 tons of raw cashews at USD36 million in the first two months.</p> <p>The figure represents a 36.4 percent decreased in volume and a 20 percent decreased in value when compared to the corresponding period a year before. The US was the largest importer of Vietnamese cashew nuts accounting for 20 percent of the total. China came next at 20 percent of total cashew nut exports.<br></p><p></p>
