The Vietnam cashew market reached approximately 19.15 KMT in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.40% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around 32.40 KMT by 2034.
Despite Vietnam's reliance on cashew imports to satisfy local demand, the country's diverse climates, subtropical in the north and tropical in the central and southern regions, provide ideal conditions for cashew nut cultivation. However, the current production levels are insufficient to meet the needs of the Vietnamese population. The largest consumer bases are concentrated in urban centres such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang, while smaller retail establishments, wholesale markets, and speciality food stores across Vietnam trade in smaller quantities of cashews.
Moreover, whole cashew kernels hold higher value compared to broken pieces, with a preference for white or pale ivory-coloured nuts over coloured or burnt ones. Processed cashews primarily consist of plain or salted varieties. Vietnam predominantly imports in-shell cashews rather than shelled ones, with a significant portion originating from cashew-producing nations in Africa. Noteworthy is Vietnam's pioneering role in advanced cashew processing technology, solidifying its position as a leader in this particular sector segment.
