Vietnam remains a global leader in cashew processing and export, and in 2025, its FOB (Free on Board) pricing strategy continues to give it a competitive edge. Understanding the current price trends and how Vietnam positions itself in the global market is essential for buyers and importers worldwide.
📦 Average FOB Prices in Early May 2025
As of the first week of May 2025, Vietnam’s FOB Ho Chi Minh prices are as follows:
- Whole White Kernels (WW grades) range from USD 7.20–8.90/kg
- Scorched, Dessert, and Other Grades (SW, A, DW, WS, LP, SP) range from USD 1.80–7.90/kg
Price variation depends on grade, origin, certifications (BRC, Organic, Halal), and packaging type. Offers are based on AFI Standard quality, packed in 22.68kg PE/carton, with shipment scheduled for late May to early June 2025.
🌍 Why Vietnam Remains Competitive
- Scale & Efficiency Vietnam exports cashews to over 100 countries, supported by advanced processing capacity and skilled labor.
- Flexible Offer Structure Exporters offer a wide range of grades, packaging types (bulk, private label), and short-term pricing options.
- Strong Certification Base Factories like SVC maintain BRC, HACCP, Organic EU, Halal certifications, ensuring access to strict markets.
- Adaptability to Trends Vietnam is expanding value-added production to meet rising demand from the Middle East, EU, and U.S. markets.
📈 Market Outlook
FOB prices have increased slightly in May due to:
- Tighter raw nut supply from Africa
- Rising freight and logistics costs
- Strong short-term demand from key buyers like China and the U.S.
Despite global fluctuations, Vietnam continues to offer a balance of price, quality, and responsiveness, outpacing competitors in India, Africa, and Brazil.
