Vietnam is making significant strides in international trade as its agricultural, forestry, and fishery exports reached $33.5 billion in the first half of 2025—an impressive 14.3% increase compared to the same period last year. This strong performance places the country firmly on track to achieve its full-year export target of $65 billion, reinforcing its position as a key player in the global market.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, total trade in these sectors has reached an estimated $57 billion, with imports rising to $23.5 billion. The figures reflect not only robust export demand but also growing input needs to support production and global order fulfillment.
The ministry has outlined clear strategies to maintain growth momentum in the second half of the year, with export targets set at $14–15 billion for the third quarter and over $16 billion for the final quarter, leveraging the peak season for global demand during the holidays.
Vietnam’s coffee industry has emerged as a standout performer, with exports valued at $5.5 billion in just six months—already meeting the full-year target. The sector is now aiming for $7.5 billion by year-end by expanding into key markets such as the European Union, China, Japan, and the Philippines, and by tapping into rising demand across Northeast Asia.
Meanwhile, the cashew industry is set to reach $4.5 billion in exports, targeting growth through continued trade with major partners like the United States and China, while also expanding into new markets in the Middle East including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. To meet European market requirements, Vietnamese exporters are focused on sustainable production and strict compliance with food safety standards.
Rubber exports, projected at $3.3 billion, are adjusting to shifts in traditional markets by strengthening trade with high-growth destinations such as India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey. Enhanced product quality and improved processing capabilities are helping Vietnamese rubber products tap into mid- and high-end sectors in industries like fashion and interior design.
Livestock exports are also gaining ground as market access expands. Vietnamese poultry, pork, and egg products are now present in high-demand markets including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Authorities are actively working to open more markets and align export practices with global standards.
With the support of trade agreements, certification programs, and targeted export strategies, Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry, and fishery sectors are well-positioned to drive trade growth and strengthen global partnerships throughout 2025 and beyond.
