SVC – one of Vietnam’s leading cashew processors and exporters – has officially introduced a new product under its Industrial Cashew Products category: Cashew Shell Residues. This strategic step expands the cashew value chain, maximizes by-product utilization, and aligns with the global shift toward clean energy and sustainability.
🌱 What are Cashew Shell Residues?
Cashew Shell Residues (also known as deoiled cashew shell cake) are the by-products remaining after extracting Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) from cashew shells.
- Key characteristics:
- Low moisture, high fiber content.
- High calorific value, efficient combustion, low ash.
- Easy to transport and store in jumbo or bulk industrial bags.
- Main applications:
- Biomass fuel for industrial boilers and power plants.
- Raw material for eco-friendly building products.
- Potential development into pellets to enhance export value.
📊 Market Trends & Export Potential
- Rising renewable energy demand: Japan, South Korea, and the EU are increasing biomass imports to replace coal and cut CO₂ emissions. Cashew Shell Residues are a strong fit due to their high calorific efficiency.
- Carbon-neutral transition: Global industries are seeking low-emission fuels. Cashew Shell Residues are recognized as a cost-effective, sustainable alternative.
- Vietnam’s advantage: With an annual cashew raw nut (RCN) output of over 1.7 million MT, Vietnam has abundant by-products to support large-scale supply.
