A continuous debate among those involved with the Brazilian cashew agribusiness refers to its international competitiveness. This work had the objective to assess the evolution of competitive performance of this agribusiness, based on the analysis of the Brazilian participation in cashew world exports and also its is participation in the total world exports. Hence, a bibliographic and documentation research was carried out, consisting of papers and diverse documents, and also an analysis of secondary data produced by the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and International Trade (MDIC).

In addition, Brazilis position was not sustained in time, with a high variability of the international market share varying of 15% to 32%, and an comparative advantage of 15 to 31%.
