Cashew kernel exports were estimated at almost 11,000 tonnes and almost US$70 million during this time, a 12.6 percent increase in volume and a 20.7 percent increase in revenue. The province’s export markets such as Japan and the European Union (EU) have recovered. Unlike last year when cashew inventories were high due to export difficulties, so far this year many businesses have increased production to meet the demand.
As a result of a bad harvest, the province’s pepper exports in the first half of this year fell by more than 35 percent in volume against a year ago. However, the price of pepper increased a record high to more than VND170,000 per kilo due to the increasing demand
