Cambodian Cashew Nuts: A Treasure of the Kingdom
Cambodia’s cashew nuts are celebrated for their rich flavor, creamy texture, and premium quality. Grown primarily in the northeastern provinces like Kampong Thom and Ratanakiri, Cambodian cashews are a cornerstone of the country’s agriculture.
Multiple locally developed cashew nuts varieties are M23, H09, M1, M10, IM4 and SAN1. Cambodia’s Cashew nuts are popular when roasted and salted, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to dishes like stir-fries, curries, salads and desserts.
The cashew industry supports over 15,000 farming families, contributing significantly to rural livelihoods. Notably, 90% of Cambodia’s cashew harvest is exported to international markets, including Vietnam, and also to some other countries like China, Korea, Europe, Thailand, Japan, India, and the United Kingdom, to name a few, of which the total export reached $503.79 million in 2024. Many farms use eco-friendly practices, ensuring sustainable production.
In Cambodian culture, cashews are enjoyed as a snack, in desserts, or as a key ingredient in traditional dishes. They symbolize prosperity and the bounty of the land.
