🔍 Overview After Q1/2025: A Temporary Slowdown
In Q1/2025, Vietnam’s cashew export industry experienced a decline in export volume as global buyers adjusted inventory levels, while logistics costs remained high. However, the average export price rose sharply, signaling that demand remains steady, with markets temporarily “waiting for a new wave.”
📉 Key Challenges in the Current Period:
1️⃣ Reduced Orders from Major Markets
• The U.S., EU, and China have scaled back short-term imports to manage stock levels after the previous peak season.
2️⃣ High Sea Freight Costs Persist
• Elevated logistics expenses continue to reduce Vietnam’s price competitiveness.
3️⃣ Rising Pressure from New Competitors
• Some African countries have improved processing quality and are offering more competitive prices, especially in Asian markets.
📈 Opportunities in Q2 and the Latter Half of the Year:
✅ Average Export Price Increased by 26.7%
• Higher prices present a chance to boost profits if businesses optimize operations and maintain product quality.
✅ Demand to Rise During Peak Seasons
• From April to August, major markets will resume purchasing to prepare for holiday and year-end demand.
✅ Growing Trend Toward Value-Added Cashew Products
• Items like flavored roasted cashews, organic nuts, and snacks are opening new, higher-value channels beyond raw kernels.
💎 SVC is proactively adapting to market changes, accelerating product standardization and expanding value-added offerings to capitalize on export recovery opportunities later in the year.
