Highlights of the cashew sector by Red River Foods

RRFCashewBrochure2008Red River Foods, the leading U.S. importer of cashews, has prepared a survey of the world cashew situation and has granted us permission to share it with our visitors and readers.  The survey offers production estimates; cites U.S. imports; and details shipments from the major producers/exporters: India, Vietnam, and Brazil.  It describes the rapid growth of the Vietnamese industry and highlights the efforts of the African Cashew Alliance.  You will also find ten-year FOB price trends and a timeline of major industry events in the brochure, both quite helpful.
