When sourcing cashew nuts from Vietnam, buyers often encounter price quotations expressed per kilogram (kg) or per metric ton (MT). Understanding how cashew prices are calculated in these units helps importers compare offers accurately, estimate landed costs, and negotiate contracts more effectively.
This guide explains how cashew price per kg and per ton is used in international trade and what buyers should consider when reviewing quotations.
⚖️ Cashew Price per Kg vs per Ton
Cashew prices quoted per kg are commonly used for reference, comparison across grades, and smaller-volume discussions. This unit is easier for buyers to benchmark prices between different suppliers and product categories.
Prices quoted per metric ton are typically applied to bulk export contracts. One metric ton equals 1,000 kg, so converting between the two units is straightforward, but the quoted unit often reflects the buyer’s order size and purchasing structure.
📊 Typical Price Ranges by Unit
In the Vietnam export market, cashew prices per kg and per ton vary depending on grade, processing level, and market conditions. White kernel grades such as WW240 and WW320 are often discussed in per-kg terms, while bulk shipments for foodservice or industrial use are frequently negotiated per ton.
Roasted and value-added cashews may also be quoted per kg, especially when packaging, flavoring, or private label requirements are involved.

🧠 How Importers Use Unit-Based Pricing
Understanding price per kg and per ton allows buyers to
- Compare supplier offers on a like-for-like basis
- Calculate total contract value accurately
- Estimate freight and insurance costs
- Align pricing with retail or foodservice margins
For large-volume buyers, negotiating per ton often provides clearer cost visibility, while per-kg pricing remains useful for benchmarking and internal planning.
🌍 Vietnam Export Pricing Context
Vietnamese cashew exporters are flexible in quoting both units depending on buyer preference and shipment size. Clear communication on pricing units helps avoid misunderstanding, especially when comparing FOB and CIF offers across multiple suppliers.
Buyers should always confirm whether prices are quoted per net weight or gross weight and clarify packaging assumptions when reviewing per-ton quotations.
