Agricultural Sector in Vietnam

Vietnam’s plant-based agriculture is experiencing rapid growth and Vietnam is becoming a key player in global agriculture.

In 2022, Vietnam’s agricultural sector experienced its highest growth in recent years reaching 3.36 percent. Of this figure, farming increased by 2.88 percent, fisheries increased by 4.43 percent, and forestry increased by 6.13 percent. The export turnover of the whole industry was over US$53.22 billion. Vietnam currently exports a broad range of agricultural products all over the world. Its main exports are walnuts, coffee, and rice – accounting for just over US$5.7 billion worth of agricultural exports in 2021.

Agriculture still plays a significant role in the Vietnamese economy, although it faces challenges including: climate change, a shortage of highly-skilled labor, and increased competition. There are, however, a number of government incentives supporting the agricultural sector, as well as FTAs, that, though a challenge in many ways, are also opening up foreign markets to Vietnamese agricultural products.

The industry is forecast to grow 6.2% annually on average between 2017-2021.

What should you be cautious about when exporting goods to Australia?

Regarding points to note when trading with Australia, Mr. Vu Huy Phuc said that in this market, technical barriers, labeling requirements, food hygiene, and safety are very strict. Some standards are very strict and higher than the US and EU. Besides, agricultural products are also subject to great competition from other countries in the Australian market.

Many import regulations, such as tax policy and tax rates; regulations on packaging and labels; regulations on food hygiene and safety; quarantine; intellectual property rights; trademarks; business practices; etc.,  also require businesses to pay attention.
