The push by Nigeria to grow her non-oil export suffered a big setback when her 37,000 tonnes of cashew exported to Vietnam were rejected due to high price of the commodity. This was revealed by the Deputy Executive Secretary, Federation of Agricultural Commodity Associations of Nigeria (FACAN), Mr. Peter Bakare. He said the price volatility was due to lack of conducive business environment. He said this made the price of raw cashew from Nigeria to be higher than the price of finished product in the international markets. “The banks in Vietnam that usually provide the loans to their buyers for purchase complained that the prices of the finished products are less than the price of raw materials. “The Vietnam financial institutions, therefore, backed out of the business, stressing that it is not a profitable venture for its farmers, so the produce are stuck in Vietnam now,’’ he said.
