The southern province of Binh Phuoc’s cashew has been well-known on both domestic and international markets thanks to its special taste and high nutrition values, including over 43 percent of protein and 23 percent of carbohydrate.

Binh Phuoc is home to over 200 cashew enterprises and processing facilities with total output of 82,000 tonnes per year, employing about 50,000 labourers.
