According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Cambodia exported 937,974.26 tonnes of cashew nuts worth $1.60487 billion last year, up by 328.34% by tonnage over 2020. Uon Silot, president of Cashew nut Association of Cambodia (CAC), pointed out that nuts are very potential for exports, gaining billions of dollars from sales overseas. The local processor-and-exporter Chey Sambor Cashew Nut Processing Handicrafts sent more than 45 tonnes in March 2022 after a collaboration with Top Planning Japan Co Ltd (TPJ). To provide better access to export markets, the Ministry of Commerce is working to introduce a proper legal framework of National Policy on Cashew Nuts 2022-2027, attempting to reinforce Cambodia’s capacity to grow, store, process, package, market, distribute and export cashew nuts and derived products.
