A global cashew association is on the cards for as early as next year, according to reports of a discussion between the Vietnamese, Indian and Brazilian cashew bodies.

The Vietnam Cashew Association (Vinacas), the Cashew Export Promotion Council of India (CEPC) and the Brazilian Association of Cashew Nut Manufacturers (Sindicaju) held the discussions during the African Cashew Alliance annual conference in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, reported the Saigon Daily.

A global association could be established within a year by the three, who are among the top cashew producing nations globally, the Daily report said.

The discussions will continue at a meeting in late September on the import of raw cashews from Africa, said Vinacas.
