On August 4, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien announced that despite facing challenges from fluctuating prices, Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry, and fishery export turnover in July was estimated at $6 billion. For the first seven months of 2025, total sector exports reached approximately $39.7 billion, up nearly 15% year-over-year.
To adapt to global market shifts and restructure its export strategy, Vietnam is expanding to key markets such as Europe, Africa, and Islamic (Halal) countries. At the same time, the country is restructuring domestic production and promoting competitive-value agricultural products, aiming to reach the 2025 export target of $65–70 billion.
In the first seven months of 2025, all three main product groups — forestry, fishery, and agricultural goods — recorded trade surpluses. Forestry products led with a surplus of nearly $8.4 billion, up 5% from the same period in 2024. Fishery products followed with a $4.2 billion surplus, up 7.5%, while agricultural products had a $4.3 billion surplus, marking an impressive 33% increase.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Vietnam exported an estimated 110,000 tons of coffee in July 2025, valued at nearly $593 million. Cumulatively, in the first seven months, coffee exports reached 1.1 million tons, equivalent to $6 billion — up nearly 8% in volume and a remarkable 65% in value compared to the same period in 2024. This already surpasses the total export value of $5.5 billion for the entire year 2024.
The average export price of coffee in the first seven months hit $5,672.2 per ton, up 53% year-over-year.
Vietnam's top three coffee markets are Germany (15.3% market share, value doubled), Italy (7.6%, up 47.4%), and Spain (7.5%, up 67%). Among the top 15 export destinations, Mexico saw the largest growth (88 times increase), while China had the smallest (over 24%).
Rubber exports in July 2025 were estimated at 200,000 tons worth nearly $324 million. For the first seven months, total rubber exports reached 894,000 tons worth $1.6 billion — down 2% in volume but up 14% in value compared to the same period last year.
The average rubber export price was $1,803.2 per ton, a 16% increase year-over-year.
Vietnam’s top three rubber export markets include China (69.3% market share, up 24%), India (5.2%, down 29%), and South Korea (3.2%, up 4%). Among the top 15 markets, Malaysia recorded the strongest growth (4.5 times), while India had the sharpest decline (29%).
Fruit and vegetable exports saw positive growth after a period of stagnation. In July 2025, export value reached $810 million, bringing the seven-month total to $3.9 billion — a slight 1% increase year-over-year.
Key markets include China (52.6% market share, but export value dropped 24%), the U.S. (8.4%, value surged 66% — the highest among the top 15 markets), and South Korea (5.1%, down 4%). Thailand experienced the largest drop, with export value down 31% compared to the same period in 2024.
