Since the beginning of the year, severe natural disasters have caused an estimated economic loss of VND97,000 billion, significantly affecting the agricultural sector. However, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment remains steadfast in its 4% growth target.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien emphasized that in the context of many difficulties, Vietnam's agricultural sector still maintains growth momentum, approaching the export target of 65 - 70 billion USD by 2025.

Notably, the US and Chinese markets have had positive recoveries, with China accounting for more than 22% of market share, the US reaching 20.5%, while Europe continues to grow, showing a positive shift in the market and quality of export goods.

If the growth rate of about 6 billion USD in December can be maintained, agricultural export turnover in 2025 could reach approximately 70 billion USD. Despite many challenges from trade conflicts and global fluctuations, the current results create an important foundation for the development period 2026-2030.

The Department of Crop Production has advised the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to provide more than 3,400 tons of seeds from the national reserve to localities. In the coming time, the department will continue to coordinate in draining water, clearing water flows, and synthesizing seed and funding support needs to restore production.

In the field of seafood, the Department of Fisheries and Fisheries Control recommends that localities and enterprises rearrange production in an adaptive and sustainable direction; review and re-plan cage farming density; invest in infrastructure in key farming areas; strengthen environmental monitoring and warning and apply digital technology ; and at the same time, build a special credit mechanism and risk insurance for marine farming.

Agricultural, forestry and fishery exports in November 2025 are estimated at 5.8 billion USD, down 3.7% compared to the previous month but up 8.4% over the same period last year. In the first 11 months, the total export turnover is estimated at 64.01 billion USD, up 12.6% over the same period in 2024.

Of which, the export value of agricultural products reached 34.24 billion USD (up 15%), livestock products 567.4 million USD (up 16.8%), aquatic products 10.38 billion USD (up 13.2%), forestry products 16.61 billion USD (up 5.9%), production inputs 2.2 billion USD (up 29.9%) and salt 11 million USD (up 93.1%).

By region, Asia remained the largest export market, accounting for 45.1% of total turnover, followed by the Americas (22.8%) and Europe (13.4%).

Among the main agricultural products, coffee continues to make a breakthrough. In November 2025, the export volume of coffee is estimated to reach 80 thousand tons, worth 463.3 million USD, bringing the total in 11 months to 1.4 million tons and 7.88 billion USD, up 14.1% in volume and 59.7% in value over the same period.
