  • "Achilles heel" of the industry in Vietnam

    May 1st, 2016

    <p></p><p>2015, the production of processed cashew Vietnam has overtaken India, making Vietnam become the world leader in the processing conditions. In this year, domestic production of crude reached 1.4 million tons, accounting for nearly 50% of world production (more than 2.9 million tons). <br></p> <p>Years, Vietnam has imported nearly 900,000 tons of crude from 25 countries for processing and export, mostly from African countries, Cambodia. World appreciate cashew processing capacity of Vietnam. <br></p> <p>Nguyen Duc Thanh - Chairman of the Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas), said at a conference of the world's cashew sector held in Dubai not long ago, he was very sad when the image processing industry cashews Vietnam is full of disgusting appearance: "A footage of the Vietnam's cashew dried on the canvas below the soil cover, which is next to the ducks walking around, people used the rake to rake table mixed nuts on the field and those that wear gloves peeled sticky black plastic thing ... <br></p> <p>The owner of the video facility also vowed to become the head of the processing enterprises throughout the country in 10 years ... I'm really sad. Must have someone speak for the organizers do not slide anymore. The video is very shocking that foreigners. The fact that these images do not represent the cashew processing industry in Vietnam when we have modern factories, to ensure hygiene. But it is still the topic, even to rivals loophole, others peering, causing disrepute ". <br></p> <p>In fact, food safety (food safety) is always a concern when there are no less individual export shipments have been returned due to Salmonella infection, E. coli. In it, there are cases of cross contamination when sterile goods. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food safety checks at each processing plant. In 32 enterprises, nearly half had problems. <br></p> <p>Not only that, in the country, a number of companies which are not attached to the interests of the voluntary sector that has for sale, has signed contracts to sell machinery, processing equipment for the countries that export it crude for Vietnam. Meanwhile, these countries may be reluctant to sell crude once owned by the processing tools to increase the value of their cashews. This according to many experts in the industry will "picture element" domestic industry. <br></p> <p>Supply uncertainty <br></p> <p>Mr Thanh said that in the five evaluation criteria cashew exports Vietnam, traceability we get 6 errors, 5 errors impurities, humidity 3 errors, 3 errors and deep colors live 6 errors, high than many other countries. "Previously, when we grow yet nobody cares much. But now, being a "beauty" of the industry, every gesture the movements were noticed very carefully. Therefore, the greater must be the remedy for by this vulnerability, "- he said. <br></p> <p>Last 7.4 days, VINACAS sent a dispatch to the exporter of crude to explain the requirements to be subsidized from these countries. Before that, though many times violated the contract as late delivery, poor quality goods, to cancel the contract ... but things like exporting countries Ivory Coast, Nigeria ... always require subsidies. VINACAS to explain the shipment subsidies April - 5.2016 is not possible because most shipments have to balance production and sale of human sign for foreign customers. On the other hand, it is not subsidizing ensure fair trade for the enterprises of Vietnam and create a bad precedent in the implementation of the contract of sale of cashew nuts in the following years. <br></p> <p>The press release also stated that this year, Vietnam will be evaluating and classifying suppliers of crude to Vietnam under a new points (including brokers). By the end of this year, VINACAS will announce the list of bad business (non-delivery businesses that) in the implementation of business contracts with Vietnam. <br></p> <p>The import of crude in the meeting agreed on will not continue to buy from the partners of the contract ruffled Vietnam enterprises in the near future. Not long ago, on 13.4, after many objections, VINACAS must send written requests Business Incubator Centre of HCMC University of Technology is not technology transfer and processing of raw materials for the Coast Ivory fearing businesses and workers in the affected sectors. <br></p> <p>A further flaw of the industry is the imbalance between exports and area high impression, domestic output declining. As a country with soil conditions are very favorable for the trees, with a very high yield (3 times compared with the Ivory Coast), Vietnam had to produce enough crude to supply cashew industry. But it gradually lost the advantage when Vietnam has to import nearly 900,000 tons of crude. <br></p> <p>Representatives VINACAS warning, from now to 2020, around 60.000ha things to replanting and rehabilitation. Thus, every year millions of seedlings required for planting. Technical requirements for cascading branches have over 8 years of age are stable yield. Have strict management and quality control for the nursery seedlings are easy to pursue profits, use young trees, not old enough to transplant. This will cause huge consequences when half the crop area of ​​substandard and caused productivity fell sharply.<br></p><p></p>
