As global consumers shift toward healthy, protein-rich, premium snacks, flavored cashew nuts are emerging as one of the fastest-growing categories in the global snack industry.
Vietnam β the worldβs largest cashew processor β is no longer known only for raw kernels; it is now a leading producer of roasted and flavored cashews that meet international standards and diverse taste profiles.
At the center of this transformation is SVC International JSC, a key Vietnamese exporter specializing in high-quality flavored cashew products for OEM and Private Label markets worldwide.
