USA is always our largest cashew export market, in December, it reached 12,532 mt, accounting for 23.79% of market share. Demand is particularly high in the EU (+18.63% since the beginning of the year) and the US (+9.72% compared to 2019). However, demand from China decreased this year by 7.28 % compared to last year. This is a consequence of the Covid-19 crisis. During several months, the exports to China were extremely low, and the high shipments from the past months did not allow to reach the volume exported to China in 2019.
