🔍 Current Logistics Challenges in 2025
Logistics expenses currently account for about 20-25% of Vietnam’s cashew export costs—significantly higher compared to competing nations like India and Ivory Coast. This severely reduces the competitive advantage of Vietnamese cashews in global markets.
📌 Factors Causing High Logistics Costs:
• Inadequate transportation infrastructure and frequent port congestion.
• Lack of specialized logistics hubs for agricultural products, leading to increased storage time and costs.
• Shortage of empty containers and rising ocean freight rates.
📌 Effective Solutions to Lower Logistics Costs:
1️⃣ Develop Specialized Cashew Logistics Centers:
• Establish logistics hubs near raw material zones and export ports to optimize transportation time and reduce inventory costs.
2️⃣ Implement Technology in Supply Chain Management:
• Deploy advanced logistics management systems (WMS, TMS) to enhance efficiency, significantly reducing transportation and warehousing expenses.
3️⃣ Promote Collaboration Among Enterprises:
• Form alliances among cashew exporters to consolidate shipments, utilize containers efficiently, and lower shipping costs.
4️⃣ Maximize Benefits from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs):
• Utilize preferential tariffs and simplified customs procedures under FTAs like EVFTA and CPTPP, saving both time and customs-related expenses.
5️⃣ Strengthen Partnerships with Major Shipping Companies:
• Establish long-term shipping contracts to stabilize freight rates, secure container availability, and minimize market volatility impacts.
