In January 2026, Vietnamese cinnamon exports recorded strong growth compared with the same period last year. However, they saw a slight decline from the previous month. The performance reflects changing supply-demand dynamics and the increasingly important role of key export markets.
Vietnam’s cinnamon exports reached 8,865 tons in January 2026, generating US$22.4 million in export revenue. Export volume fell 7.7% compared with December 2025 but increased 21% year on year. The figures suggest that Vietnamese cinnamon exports have maintained a solid growth momentum. However, seasonal factors and order adjustments are typically seen at the beginning of the year.

The market structure continued to underscore Vietnam’s strong dependence on traditional trading partners. India and the United States remained the two largest export destinations of Vietnamese cinnamon exports. They accounted for 34% and 17% of total export volume, respectively, with shipments reaching 3,010 tons and 1,504 tons. Steady demand from these markets has helped reduce risks for Vietnam’s cinnamon industry amid persistent uncertainties in global trade, logistics, and transportation costs.
At the company level, export rankings highlighted intensifying competition within the sector. Son Ha Spices led cinnamon exports in January 2026 with 902 tons, followed by Prosi Thang Long with 869 tons and T & K Green Forest with 623 tons. Meanwhile, companies such as Huy Chuc M & M and Lam Son Ha Spices each exported more than 300 tons. This reflects a broader trend toward larger-scale operations and a stronger presence in international markets.

On the import side, Vietnam imported 761 tons of cinnamon in January 2026, worth US$1.6 million. Import volume declined 24.4% from December 2025 but surged 218.4% compared with the same month a year earlier. Indonesia and China were the leading suppliers of cinnamon, providing 458 tons and 242 tons, respectively. This trend suggests that demand for supplementary raw materials and efforts to balance domestic supply remain important considerations for the industry.
Overall, Vietnam’s cinnamon trade performance in January 2026 points to an industry that is increasingly developing in a more sustainable and value-added direction. Exports continue to act as the primary growth driver, while imports play a complementary role in supporting processing activities and product diversification.
