Vietnam’s livestock product export earned $628 million in 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 17.4%, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.

This figure exceeded the target of $550 million, set by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, according to the Department of Livestock Production and Animal Health under the ministry.

Looking ahead to 2026, the livestock sector will focus on expanding export markets, considering this as a critical driver for growth and increasing added value to livestock products.

The sector will continue to encourage and support businesses in enhancing production capacity, expanding output, and diversifying exports into markets that have been opened, including Japan, Russia, the Eurasian Economic Union, Hong Kong (China), Singapore and China.

Simultaneously, leveraging free trade agreements (FTAs) such as the EVFTA, CPTPP and RCEP will be a key strategy to boost efforts in seeking and negotiating with new markets.

Special focus will be placed on products with competitive advantages, such as bird’s nests and related products, honey and processed poultry products.

Particularly, the livestock sector will accelerate the development of disease-free zones and facilities, considering these as essential conditions for sustainable export expansion.
