Explaining this, Nguyen Duc Thanh, chairman of Vinacas, said that after the factory inspections, US importers found that Vietnam is the supplier of kernel food safety compared with Other countries such as India, Brazil (also manual labor in many stages, like Vietnam before). Of the total world raw cashewnut output of about 7 million tonnes, Vietnam produces 1.5 million tonnes (2016), accounting for about 50% of its output and for 12 years it is the world's top cashew exporter after overcoming Via India. Therefore, countries with the demand for cashew imports are thinking of Vietnam.</p> <p>The Vietnam cashew industry is competitive in the world market because the enterprises own processing technology. This is probably the only sector that Vietnam can export equipment and technology. This is the result of the link between processing enterprises with mechanical enterprises over the past 20 years, gradually creating "brand" of cashew processing technology. Although Vietnam is not the world's first processing country like Brazil or the first in Asia like India, Vietnamese companies have rapidly adopted and improved to improve and step by step perfect the technology. Many of the equipment manufactured by Vietnamese mechanical enterprises in most processing stages (sorting, steamed, split, peeled, etc.) are considered equal or preferable to imported equipment; Especially the shredding of raw shells, the equipment has been imported by importers instead of buying from the world famous processors such as Oltremare of Italy.</p> <p>By the end of February, businesses (DN) exported nearly 31,500 tons of cashew nut, turnover of more than 286 million.
