Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Companies in Vietnam’s Expanding Agro-Forestry-Aquatic Sector

With growing global demand, Vietnam is accelerating efforts to expand its agro-forestry-aquatic exports, targeting $65 billion in 2025 through sectoral restructuring, digital transformation, market expansion, and other strategic measures. Notably, Vietnam’s first-quarter exports in this sector surged 13.1% year-on-year, reinforcing its global trade position. Meanwhile, public-private partnerships—such as collaboration on low-carbon rice production—are driving innovation in agricultural practices, further strengthening Vietnam’s role in the international market.
Vietnam’s push to reach $65 billion in agro-forestry-aquatic exports by 2025 signals a rapidly expanding market that U.S. companies can tap into, particularly in agricultural technology, supply chain optimization, and sustainability solutions. With Q1 exports surging 13.1% year-over-year, Vietnam’s growing global trade footprint presents opportunities for precision agriculture, biotechnology, and digital transformation. Public-private partnerships can showcase Vietnam’s openness to foreign expertise and innovation, making it an attractive destination for public-private collaborations. However, U.S. firms must navigate evolving regulations and trade policies to ensure long-term market access and competitiveness.
