In the first eleven months of 2025, the exportation of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products increased by 12.6% on a year-on-year basis, totaling a whopping US$64 billion.
The agricultural sector contributed significantly to this figure, accounting for $34.24 billion, representing an increase of 15% over the period. In particular, the average price of coffee exports experienced a significant boost, escalating by 40% to reach $5,667 per ton. Germany, Italy, and Spain emerged as the primary destination markets for these coffee exports.
Furthermore, exports of fruits and vegetables witnessed a near 20% rise, amounting to $7.91 billion. This surge was primarily driven by robust demand from the Chinese and U.S. markets.
Despite the general upward trend, not all products enjoyed the same level of success. Cashew and pepper exports did increase; however, some key commodities encountered challenges.
Rice exports, for instance, took a substantial hit, declining by 27.7% to $3.83 billion due to increased competition. Similarly, exports of tea and rubber suffered a downturn as demand for these products weakened.
Phung Duc Tien, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment, recently stated that by the close of the year, the export value of agricultural, forestry, and fisheries products could reach an approximate $70 billion.
In an effort to boost this sector further, the government is focusing on promoting green, organic, and circular agricultural models. These initiatives aim to preserve natural resources and biodiversity. Additionally, the government intends to fortify regional linkages to create a more unified, strong sector.
