“Ordinarily, RCN prices in Cambodia tend to fall between September and January, when traders focus on imports from Tanzania and Indonesia,” said Uon Silot, President of CAC. “However, this year we are seeing the opposite — prices have surged due to the bottleneck in Tanzania’s supply chain.”

Neighboring Cambodia is also seeking to boost its processing capacity through greater adoption of automation. Silot Uon, President of the Cashew Nut Association of Cambodia (CAC), noted that while Chinese and Indian machines are already present in the Cambodian market, integrating advanced Vietnamese technology could be key to improving competitiveness.

CAC Vice-President Suy Kokthean reaffirmed CAC’s readiness to support IAE throughout the investment process. “We are committed to creating a favorable environment for investors and will work closely with authorities to ensure smooth implementation,” he said.

Meanwhile, Silot Uon, President of the Cashew Nut Association of Cambodia, highlighted Cambodia’s growing role as a key supplier to Vietnam’s processing sector. The country is projected to produce one million tons of RCN by 2025, most of which is exported to Vietnam.

As Tanzania’s political crisis continues, said Silot Uon, President of CAC and an industry analyst warn that prolonged instability could further tighten global cashew supplies and push prices even higher in the months ahead.

“Our local processing capacity is still limited, but diversifying our raw cashew nut markets is crucial to stabilize prices for farmers,” said Silot Uon, CAC’s president. “Whether our buyers are from India or China, we need all partners to strengthen Cambodia’s cashew industry and ensure sustainable transactions for our farmers.”

CAC President Silot Uon reaffirmed the CAC’s commitment to helping farmers build climate resilience and maintain productivity. “Cashew farmers are facing new challenges every year due to climate change. By sharing knowledge and practical techniques, we can safeguard both yields and livelihoods,” he said.

Mr. Silot Uon , President of the Cashew Nut Association of Cambodia (CAC), also praised the decision, stating that the tariff reduction “confirms the Cambodian government’s continued efforts to secure preferential treatment from the United States.”
