The first shipment of Vietnamese cinnamon essential oil values at over USD 500,000. The shipment marks an important milestone in the efforts of a Vietnamese essential oil enterprise to expand it presence in international markets. It reflects the growing capacity of local agro-processing industries. Moreover, it demonstrates the increasing integration of Vietnamese agricultural products into the global supply chain.
On March 23, a Vietnamese spice company successfully exported 160 tons of cinnamon essential oil to the United States. This achievement would be a significant breakthrough. It marks the company’s first official shipment to the U.S. market since its cinnamon processing plant began operations in November 2025. Entering such a demanding market is not only a commercial success but also a strong signal. It shows that the company’s production standards and product quality are meeting increasingly strict international requirements.
According to a representative of the company, the total value of this shipment exceeds USD 500,000. Before shipping, Vietnamese cinnamon essential oil underwent a rigorous process of testing, sampling, and evaluation against technical standards conducted by an independent consulting unit. These quality control procedures fully complied with international export requirements.

Additionally, the company completed all necessary legal procedures in accordance with regulations. This ensured that the shipment of Vietnamese cinnamon essential oil was fully legitimate. This careful preparation highlights the enterprise’s commitment to transparency, quality assurance, and long-term market development.
This Vietnam’s cinnamon processing facility has a total investment of around VND 40 billion in the first phase. The plant has designed with a modern production system and a relatively high processing capacity. Each year, it is capable of producing over 100 tons of cinnamon essential oil and about 240 tons of cinnamon-based bio-products.
In addition, it can produce approximately 3,000 tons of dried cinnamon bark annually. This large-scale capacity demonstrates the company’s strategic vision of developing cinnamon not only as a raw agricultural product but also as a high-value processed commodity.
In terms of product structure, the company has developed a diversified portfolio to meet various market demands. Besides Vietnamese cinnamon essential oil, the company also produces a range of derivatives. These include cinnamic aldehyde, benzaldehyde, coumarin, and cinnamyl acetate. These compounds are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. This shows the high commercial potential of cinnamon-based products.

Moreover, the company also offers a variety of bark-based products. These include stick cinnamon, tube cinnamon, rolled cinnamon, and split cinnamon. Notably, these products are important raw materials in both domestic consumption and export markets. This diversification strategy helps the company reduce risks while increasing competitiveness across different market segments.
Currently, the company focuses primarily on essential oil production. Accordingly, it processes around 5,000 tons of raw cinnamon branches and leaves annually. From this input, it produces approximately 100 tons of finished cinnamon essential oil each year. This production process not only adds value to raw materials but also helps optimize the use of local agricultural resources. It also reflects the company’s efforts to build a sustainable production model based on regional advantages.
Looking ahead, from late 2026 onwards, the enterprise plans to expand into deeper processing of cinnamon bark products. This strategic direction aims to move beyond basic processing toward higher-value product lines. These products can generate greater economic benefits. By investing in advanced processing technologies, the company expects to enhance product quality, diversify its offerings, and strengthen its position in the international market.

In its long-term development strategy, the company also aims to establish a cinnamon raw material zone of approximately 8,000 hectares. The development orientation emphasizes organic cultivation practices, the issuance of plantation area codes, and forest certification.
These measures will ensure transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, which is increasingly important in global trade. By meeting strict traceability and sustainability standards, the company seeks to improve competitiveness and gain access to high-demand markets such as the European Union and the United States.
Overall, this first export shipment is not only a commercial achievement but also a foundation for the company’s future growth strategy. It reflects a broader trend of upgrading Vietnam’s agricultural processing industry toward higher value, better quality control, and more sustainable development.
