From a tree bearing target "poverty reduction", but after more than 20 years, this sector has strong impression as "stretch" to become "giant" with 8 years to stand on the world's No. 1 export. However, the real value of cashew nuts gives farmers, the DN can be no higher? The answer is quite possible that the industry boom when the "revolution" of the renovated garden compound and deep processing ... Tree "weird"! Nearly ten years ago, we in Bu Dop district - the most remote areas of Binh Phuoc province, bordering Cambodia border to learn about the lives of her children growing ethnic thing. At that time, the tree is the ultimate thing for thousands of farmers land of steep hills, arid, rocky ground. By a strange species have seeds left outside (cashew) to live very well in harsh places, not even need water, no need to apply science and technology, every tree is planted to grow, reaches maturity Planning is the red fruit trees. Minister Cao Duc Phat visit cashew processing factory in Binh Phuoc, on 17/12/2014 Naturally, things do yield the type of "instrument of God's will" is only 6-7 kg / ha, but, poor farmers, such as money started trickling in, have rice to eat, have clothing to wear. So, to the question on the trees yet, we are leading people to the garden "show off" the result of years of hard work and mining wasteland that formed the lush garden. This is also the time of cashew development area is very strong (up 70 times compared to 1982 - from 5,000 ha to 349,000 ha), forming the cargo area of ​​focus. It was also praised highly significant in the alleviation of poverty; afforestation of bare soil and coastal erosion slopes, limit the impact of storms and contribute to maintaining security, border politics. Later (about 2010), the time of rubber trees begin to "price storm" on the global market, cashew started pretty much cleared. But despite the changing world, an area far cashew farmers are still sticking with very large, approximately 311,000 hectares, mainly concentrated in the Southeast, Southern Highlands and Central Coast. Processing capacity super "terrorist" Species are jobs for over 900,000 workers engaged in export after 26 years (1988-2014), there were eight consecutive years ranked No. 1 in world exports of cashew (2006 - 2014), bringing their products to over 40 countries and these years have brought tens of billions of dollars for the country. To be able to do this feat, the previous stage witnessed the explosion appeared to businesses operating in this sector. To date there have been 465 processing plants, the total design capacity of 1 million tonnes / year, more than 667 times higher than in 1988. This explains why VN become one of the "factory" big world of processed cashew nuts, exceeding 3 times the power supply of crude water (domestic output of about 350,000 tonnes, to import more from 500,000 to 600,000 tons per year of processing). To create a miracle of this processing capacity, can not fail to mention the project named KC-07 because it VN Association (Vinacas) stand out research, made a "revolutionary" new mower cup Cashew nut shell, complete removal of foreign splitting machine with excessively high prices. Recall in 2011, we went to Nguyen Duc Thanh - then-Vice President Vinacas have to Dong Nai to see firsthand the mower deck that performed by VN production, the presence of hundreds of business enterprises, processing, exporting and foreign thing. The machine was surprising to help percentage grain tank is only 10% (25% of foreign machines), prevalence absolutely no oil; Special prices internal machine though capacity but only a quarter of foreign investment cash machine to machine only foreign 1/40 (400 million / machine than $ 800,000 internal / external computer).From here, the problem of "headache" which is the industry's labor shortage has been resolved, while helping to reduce costs for businesses splitting down to 70% (from VND4,000 / kg cutting craft, to 1.400d / kg cutting machine). The deep processing and branding will help industries that create added value breakthrough and since then, VN has witnessed the development of technology rushing preliminary processing crude exports and the continuous growth of the domestic industry. "Revolution" transplant gardens and deep processing? Besides the rapid development that strange, this sector also reveal considerable weaknesses. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat in Binh Phuoc trip to visit cashew model and meeting conference on sustainable development that recently 17 and 18/12, has affirmed that "residual category that address great for us to focus on developing, enhancing the value and income for farmers and businesses. " The greatest weakness of this sector is not high yield (about 1.1 tons / ha) and the proportion of deep processing products are not many (10%). To change this soon, commander for the agriculture sector has also approved "Sustainable Development Scheme cashew VN 2020". Of course, two weaknesses mentioned above are special attention project. Regarding increase productivity, improve incomes for farmers, Minister Cao Duc Phat required between now and 2020, to conduct a quick coupling renovated to bring productivity up over 2 tons / ha. Ministers requested the departments concerned to coordinate with local Vinacas and implement drastic directing this, with the goal of helping farmers live well with cashews. Deep processing, target 2020 will double the amount of people that are deep processing (approximately 20% is processed into products that candy, pies things; things chocolate, milk thing, salted cashew, which bile ong ...). Also, push processing to create value added by new products, such as juice thing, pressed wood from cashew nut shell oil Many experts on trees when we talk to confirm: Previously this sector has created a "revolution" in the processing of cashew exports, which have astonished the world; this is no reason not to create a "revolutionary" new renovated garden compound and deep processing to create added value. Especially when MARD particularly interested in policy development, surely period 2015 - 2020 we will see a "revolutionary" new in this sector, creating major changes, revolutionary broke in aerospace manufacturing, trading fruits "weird" is. *** "I think that the world is very popular nut VN, proves we have confirmed the quality of its products. Cashew is also the strengths and characteristics of VN, the international integration, the more products we demonstrated the strength, the more characteristic for competitive advantage. Thus, restructuring it to improve productivity, quality and value of the product will be focused as sharply ""(Minister Cao Duc Phat said in mission in Binh Phuoc, 17 - 18/12 / 2014).
