Vietnam's agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors demonstrated stability, achieving 3.8% GDP growth in the first nine months of 2025, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE). However, the swine population decreased by 0.6%, as pig farming faced significant challenges due to African swine fever (ASF). The outbreak caused substantial damage, particularly to small-scale farms, while businesses and farms operating within production-linked chains remained stable by adhering to biosecurity measures. Meanwhile, the poultry population increased by 3.7%, reflecting positive trends in the sector, but the cattle population continued to decline.
Vietnam’s animal feed exports grew by 29% in the first eight months of 2025, with China remaining the largest market. This sharp increase in feed exports, combined with strong domestic feed demand, highlights the growing importance of Vietnam’s feed industry in both domestic and international markets.
Total feed demand for the calendar year 2025 is estimated at 28.3 MMT, up nearly 3% from 2024, driven by demand for aquafeed. Feed demand is expected to rise an additional 3% in 2026, reaching 29.2 MMT, reflecting expectations of increased animal growth.
