The US, China and the Netherlands were the three biggest cashew nut importers of Vietnam in the period.
The export to China recorded strong growth due to trade tensions between China and the US, said the Agro Processing and Market Development Authority under the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development.
The authority advised businesses to focus on improving quality of products and ensuring food safety to boost exports to foreign markets.
