As Europe’s retail and snack industries evolve toward higher quality standards, demand for premium Vietnamese cashew grades — particularly WW240 and WW210 — has surged through late 2025.
This shift reflects a broader consumer trend across the EU toward clean-label, traceable, and visually consistent nut products.
🌍 European Market Momentum
According to Eurostat and VINACAS, Vietnam’s cashew exports to the European Union reached over 86,000 tons in the first nine months of 2025 — a 6.2% increase year-on-year, with premium grades accounting for nearly 28% of total shipments.
Leading importers include Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Poland, which serve as redistribution hubs for the wider EU market.
Supermarkets and roasting companies are showing a clear preference for larger, whiter kernels (WW240, WW210) due to:
- Better visual appeal in transparent packaging.
- Higher roasting consistency and less breakage.
- Greater suitability for retail, gifting, and snack manufacturing.
💰 Price & Supply Outlook
Through October 2025, FOB Ho Chi Minh prices for WW240 and WW210 have remained stable, supported by balanced supply and resilient global demand.
Compared to mid-year levels, average prices rose 2–4%, driven by:
- Higher freight and labor costs in premium processing.
- Strong EU retail restocking ahead of the Christmas season.
- Tight supply of large-size kernels from African raw material.
Exporters expect this upward trend to hold until December 2025, especially for OEM and branded cashew packs sold through EU retail chains.
🏭 SVC’s Strength in Premium Cashew Exports
SVC International JSC has positioned itself as one of Vietnam’s most reliable suppliers of high-grade cashew kernels, exporting monthly to over 63 countries, including key EU markets.
At SVC, all WW210 and WW240 kernels are:
- Graded under AFI Standard for color, size, and moisture.
- X-ray inspected and nitrogen-sealed to maintain freshness.
- Packaged in 22.68 kg cartons or PET jars for retail/OEM.
- Fully compliant with BRC, HACCP, ISO 9001, FSPCA, FDA, Halal, Kosher, CE, and INC standards.

📈 Outlook for 2026
Analysts project that EU imports of Vietnamese cashew kernels will continue to rise by 5–7% in 2026, particularly in the premium WW210 and WW240 segments.
With European consumers prioritizing quality, sustainability, and packaging aesthetics, Vietnam — and exporters like SVC — are set to remain preferred partners in the global cashew supply chain.
