Cambodia exported more than 1 million tonnes of raw cashew nuts over the full year from January to December 2025, a 27% increase compared with 2024, according to the Cashew Nut Association of Cambodia.
The association said raw cashew exports earned Cambodia US$1.5 billion in 2025, with export value increasing by about 30% over the previous year. The volume of raw nuts exported was approximately 1 million tonnes, up 27% from 2024.
Cambodian cashews sold for only US$1,250 to US$1,350 per tonne in March and April, but by October the price farmers could obtain had risen to about US$2,000 per tonne. Raw nuts were exported to Vietnam, while processed nuts were exported to markets including Japan and the European Union.
In 2024, Cambodia produced a total of 850,000 tonnes of cashew nuts, up 26%, making it the world’s second-largest cashew producer.
