The domestic cashew industry would continue to face difficulties in processing and trading cashew nuts next year, according to the Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas).

In the first half of this year, 600-700 small cashew processing factories have closed due to a lack of raw materials and capital for production, causing a headache for the sector to achieve the export

The shortage of capital is hampering the operation of many small cashew factories in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese cashew sector expects to pocket 2.5 billion USD from exports in 2015.
