In general, the overall picture of agricultural exports has many bright spots. However, certain product groups still face specific difficulties affecting growth rates.

These results were achieved thanks to the regular and close guidance of the government. Especially important was the active involvement of local authorities at both levels, and the proactiveness of businesses and farmers.
According to experts, if the average export value growth rate is maintained as in recent months, agricultural exports by the end of 2025 could reach $67 billion. Under more favorable conditions, this figure could exceed $70 billion.
“No matter how difficult it gets, the Ministry still believes that with the attention and direction of the Government and Prime Minister, flexible, timely, and resolute management, and strict implementation, the agricultural sector will achieve the agricultural export target for 2025,” Deputy Minister Mr. Tien emphasized.
