About National Cashew Day
South Asia , United States
Ends: Nov 23, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
National Cashew Day celebrates the sweet nut native to Brazil. Still, it could quickly become a tour-de-force with human rights advocates as in 2011, Human Rights Watch published a blistering report on the plight of cashew laborers in Vietnam. Based upon reporting as late as October 2022, the crisis continues.
The largest supplier of cashews in the world is Vietnam. The country has been scrutinized for using forced labor to harvest cashew crops, disguising the operation as drug treatment facilities and the workers as patients.
According to Human Rights Watch, cashew "production occurs in so-called drug 'treatment' centers. Daily, Forty thousand drug users are detained in Vietnam, and forced labor is their main "treatment." People trying to recover from drug abuse are used as forced labor to harvest cashew crops.
Human Rights Watch talked to men and women who previously interned inside these drug "treatment" centers, some when they were children. They report grueling work, being shocked with electrical batons, beaten by staff, and held for months in locked punishment rooms. A month's work might net them between 75 cents and $7.50 after deductions for food, lodging, and management fees. After being forced to process cashews, many return home battered, in poor health, and indebted, leaving the centers owing officials additional expenses for their "treatment."
The cashew continues to be a favorite nut for its sweet flavor. Human rights advocates ask that on National Cashew Day, consumers find out where their cashews are coming from and help bring awareness to the human cost of this delicious nut.
