Cambodia’s cashew industry recorded a remarkable performance in 2025, with raw cashew nut exports generating approximately US $1.5 billion in revenue, marking a significant increase compared with the previous year. 📦 Export Volume & Markets:
The Kingdom shipped over one million tonnes of raw cashew nuts to international markets throughout 2025, highlighting strong global demand. Vietnam remained Cambodia’s largest destination, continuing its role as the primary importer of Cambodian raw cashews.
According to industry sources, both export volumes and values grew by more than 25 % compared to 2024, reflecting resilience in Cambodia’s agricultural export sector and rising world nut prices.
Economic Importance:
Cashew nuts have become one of Cambodia’s key cash crops, contributing significantly to farm incomes and export earnings, alongside other major agricultural products. The surge in exports underscores the expanding role of the agri‑sector in Cambodia’s wider economic growth strategy.
Future Outlook:
With rising global demand and ongoing efforts to diversify export markets beyond Vietnam, analysts say Cambodia’s cashew sector could see further growth — especially if domestic processing capacity expands, adding value before exports.
