The Vietnam Cashew Association wants the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to draft national technical regulations for raw cashew nuts so that processors can ensure the quality of imported raw material.

Vietnam’s cashew exports in 2019 are expected to top US$3.6 billion, according to the Viet Nam Cashew Association (Vinacas).

The Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas) has complained about a new regulation which orders all imported cashew containers from Africa to be checked at the ports to prevent the Trogoderma SP worm from being spread into the country.
