The announcement from Taiwan also notes that this adjustment is also to reduce the cost of food processing, increase the consumption of products made from nuts and improve people's health and well-being.

According to statistics of the Taiwan Foreign Trade Administration, Vietnam is the largest partner in cashew nuts export into Taiwan in many years. For the first ten months of this year, Vietnam exported to Taiwan nearly 4,000 tons of cashews, worth nearly USD 30 million.
