The geographical indication for Binh Phuoc cashew includes material areas and raw cashew, cashew nuts, and salted cashew nuts.
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.
