The cashews look good and probably taste good. Hope they do anyways for almost 6$ for what looks like 400 or 500 grams. Here is another look at Farmer Tom's peanuts:

Earlier in the thread someone was asking about Cambodian cashews.
Natural Garden has these.
was checking prices on things nearby which were in USD, then at quick glance mistook this for 22USD and thought it too comparatively expensive but if fact aT 22600 riel it is the best price so far for 500 gram .
others have been roasted and /or seasoned but these look unadulterated. seasoned and roasted ones i have had have been excellent.
no replying to those who misinterpret/misread what i write. this aint kindergarten

From the Khmer Times:
Following an agreement with Vietnam to boost cashew production in the kingdom, the Ministry of Agriculture has called on all provincial agricultural departments in the country to conduct studies on the areas that present the best conditions for growing the crop. On January 17, the ministry signed a MoU with the Vietnam Cashew Association that aims to bolster the production of cashews nuts in Cambodia to reach 1 million tons a year. According to the agreement, the Vietnam Cashew Association agreed to share with local farmers advancements in technology related to planting and harvesting, as well as boost investment in local plantations, contract farming, and research. The Vietnam Cashew Association has announced plans to set up plantations in Cambodia equaling 500,000-ha.
Obviously Khmers are not capable of setting up such a scheme, right? Sad.
Trump is a genius!
No, it's a MOU, and you cant set up a MOU on your own, as it is an agreement between two or more parties. The cooperation will boost production in Cambodia, so that it will facilitate increased export to Vietnam, possibly at a better price for Vietnam than buying from India. Cambodia benefits from increased production and export and Vietnam benefits from increased imports from a market close at hand, and no doubt at a better price.maven wrote:Obviously Khmers are not capable of setting up such a scheme, right?

According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Cambodia is producing a total of about 104,268 tonnes of cashews annually. Most production comes out of the Kampong Thom and Kampong Cham provinces, which account for 29 percent and 18 percent respectively of the country’s total production.
During this past harvest season Vietnam bought around 102,000 tonnes of cashew nuts from Cambodia, explained Sakhon, with the few tonnes of cashews remaining being locally processed.
He added that Vietnam is currently importing about 1.2 million tonnes of cashews from India annually, and that it also exports about 3.2 million tonnes of processed cashews to international markets each year.

More cashew news:
(Khmer Times)The next World Cashew Nut Convention will likely take place in Siem Reap after Cambodia was asked last week to host the event by the organisers, according to a high-ranking government official. Last year, Cambodia produced more than 104,000 tons of cashew nuts. Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham and Ratanakkiri are the biggest provinces in terms of area allocated to the cultivation of cashews, with 27%, 18% and 17% of total cultivated land growing the crop, respectively. Exports of cashews has been in decline for the last few years. In 2017, 73,179 tons were exported compare to 87,854 tons in 2016 and 103,258 tons in 2015.

Got some of these nuts and quite good. Nicely toasted and fresh. I hadn't thought about the nit salty enough bit, but I suppose it makes sense if you're giving then away in a bar. Bit of extra saltiness would be nice.
Definately need to add more salt and shake....But like you said, the quality of the roasted peanuts is quite high....Will try to address the saltiness issue....Finer salt? More salt? a better way of getting the salt to stick to the peanuts?
