Cashew nut without skin

Cashew nut without skin is called that yellow kernel because cashew nut looks colorful with yellow color. It’s said that this type is nice and convenient to eat but cost of cashew nut without skin is more expensive than because it is passed to more processing steps.

To keep cashew nut out of being broken and easy to split skin, big nut size often is chosen to process so it is often used to export to abroad. However, gourmets don’t like this type because the natural flavor can be destroyed by drying, steaming, roasting process.

Cashew nut with whole skin

It means kernel has whole skin outside. The skin has brown skin, grey mix white cross. Although its appearance isn’t good but domestic customers very like this type.

The ugly skin has many benefits. It prevents kernel from reach directly to environment and some conditions in process. It is important part keeps natural aromatic flavor of kernel.

Every kind of cashew nut has own advantage. You can choose cashew nut without skin with colorful and luxury appearance for gift for international guests. However, if gift for relationship or using, you should choose cashew nut with skin. According of customers, it is sweeter and crunchier flavor.

However, with which one is chosen, customers should focus the right brand. Please prioritize reputation brand like Le’s garden. We expect to bring high quality products to domestic customers so we always improve technology, machine and labor to increase quality. Therefore, on fiercely competitive market, Le’s garden can keep faith and credibility of customers.

Lack of material

Lack of material isn’t new problem to cashew nut production industry of our nation. This problem has been reminded many years ago.

In 2017 our nation’s cashew nut production industry exported 3 million USD but producers got difficult in material. Inventory material is very little. The quantity of harvests was very low because unfavorable weather.

Cope with this difficulty, enterprises import continue material. According statistic of 2016, our nation had to import largely cashew nut which more 14% than 2015 and 3 times than quantity of exported cashew nut.

Importing raw material causes risks of danger in international payments. Many enterprises signed to import but they did nothing or delayed to delivery. Domestic production enterprises had to cancel their exported orders because they didn’t have enough material which is bad effect to their reputation.

Fierce competition

In fact, demand of cashew nut consuming not only domestic but also international increases but there is fierce competition in the market, market higher and higher.
Countries of Africa which is source of kernel to import to our nation also encourage production in domestic instead of exporting raw material like now. If which becomes true, our nation will lose export market share.

Weak nation brand

Our nation is the best nation export cashew nut in the world but our brand not yet strong. If mentioning to cashew nut, almost housewives in the world think about India than Vietnam. This problem causes big difficulty to compete, expanse market and improve prices.

Solution to pass by difficulty for cashew nut production industry

Now some solution are suggested to solve the problems that

• Increasing quantity of exported raw cashew nut and focus in quality of product
• Improving domestic cashew area for growing, intensive farming, increase crop, implant to refresh old cashew garden for improving quality of domestic raw cashew nut.

Hoping these solutions can solve difficulty of cashew nut production industry and help that industry continuously developing in the future.

That technology is fit to our nation because we have abundant human resources. Moreover, which helps workers to work effective, have high productivity and save labor force, especially that technology increases broken nut rate.

Cost of domestic rice shelling machine is cheaper than exported one from abroad while quality, productivity is higher than more times.

Advantages of cashew nut processing technology

Until now almost cashew processing stages are used machine replace for handmade. Before enterprises primarily export machine from China, Italy, India, now we create by themselves many machines with lower price and better function.

For example, peeling machine remarkably creates high peeling rate and cleaner. Shell cutting machine with effect is 90%. Moreover, some others machine as dried machine, moisture meters machine, metal detectors machine, color analyzer machine, particle size analysis machine, disinfection machine, finished product packaging or salt roasted processing machine, fried cashew nut processing machine, snack cashew nut processing machine…

Proactive in technology bring to some benefits:

• Saving cost to export machine
• Increasing cost of hiring
• Increasing cost of production
• Improve competitiveness

Now some countries of Africa really want to cashew nut processing technology of our nation.

To improve productivity, quality, increase cost of product, improve competitiveness on the market, it’s necessary and effective to invest for Vietnam cashew nut processing technology.

Recently, China government command to stop export American agricultural to China that causes China buys more raw cashew nut from Vietnam for the coming months to offset the shortage of exported others nut from USA. However, yuan is devaluation also pushing the exported cashew nut price to China market higher than before.

Kernel and raw cashew nut in next time is said that stability and upward trend but it’s difficult to appear skyrocketed price. “Therefore, processing enterprises should not sign a contract sell kernel while not yet buy raw cashew nut because price of kernel can increase for the last months of the year”. Department of Processing and Developing Agricultural Market suggested.
