According to the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine affects Vietnam's cashew exports. The recession of major economies, high inflation makes consumers tend to increase savings. This will be a barrier for the US to reduce cashew nut imports in the remaining months of 2022, although consumption demand may increase at the end of the year (according to cyclical factors). High-priced products are likely not going to be the choice of many people in the context of the not-so-good economic situation.

Therefore, Vietnam's cashew industry needs to exploit the advantages that new-generation Free Trade Agreements bring to boost exports to these markets.
