Q1 2025: Vietnam’s Agricultural, Forestry, and Fishery Exports Reach $15.72 Billion.
According to a report from the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry, and fishery export turnover in Q1 2025 reached $15.72 billion, representing a 13.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024. In March 2025 alone, the sector generated $6.14 billion. These results have created strong momentum for international shipping activities and export services, particularly for forwarding companies specializing in agricultural products. Maritime transport enterprises have recorded significant growth in shipping agricultural, forestry, and fishery products to international markets.#Vietnam Freight forwarder#freight forwarding#cargo courier service#international shipping companies#shipping service company
Specifically, the export value of agricultural products reached $8.53 billion, up 12.2%; livestock products reached $131.3 million, up 18.5%; fishery products reached $2.29 billion, up 18.1%; and forestry products reached $4.21 billion, up 11.2%. These positive figures have stimulated robust development in cargo transportation services and export consignment activities. Logistics companies have had to enhance their capacity to meet increasing transportation demands, especially container shipping services for fishery products to distant markets such as Europe and North America.#Vietnam Freight forwarder#freight forwarding#cargo courier service#international shipping companies#shipping service company
Translation: In Q1 2025, the export value of agricultural products reached $8.53 billion, an increase of 12.2%
By region, Asia remains the largest export market with a 42% market share, followed by the Americas (22.5%) and Europe (16.6%). Compared to the same period last year, export values to Asia increased by 2%, the Americas by 15.7%, and Europe showed a remarkable increase of 37.8%. Growth in these distant markets has boosted demand for international shipping services and sea freight forwarding. Notably, sea freight costs for long routes such as Vietnam-Europe have been optimized by shipping companies to support exporters.#Vietnam Freight forwarder#freight forwarding#cargo courier service#international shipping companies#shipping service company
The United States, China, and Japan are Vietnam’s three largest markets for agricultural, forestry, and fishery exports, with market shares of 20.2%, 17.3%, and 7.7% respectively. Export values to these markets in Q1 2025 all showed positive growth: the US up 13.5%, China up 3.6%, and Japan up 26%. In this context, import service and import-export service providers have played a crucial role in customs clearance and meeting market regulations. In particular, import consignment activities for production inputs have also contributed to the sector’s overall development.
The trade balance of the agricultural, forestry, and fishery sector in the first three months of 2025 is estimated to have a surplus of $4.4 billion, up 13.1% compared to the same period last year. The three product groups with the highest trade surpluses are forestry products ($3.54 billion), fishery products ($1.51 billion), and agricultural products ($1.48 billion). This achievement has created numerous opportunities for export transportation businesses and transport companies. Professional international shipping services have also effectively supported businesses in transporting samples and small orders to international customers.#freight delivery service#freight and logistics companies#local agent#customs broker#combined truck#crostrade#cfs warehouse#non commercial#cargo#no permit
Examining specific commodities, the five product groups with the highest trade surpluses in Q1 2025 include: wood and wood products ($3.29 billion), coffee ($2.79 billion), shrimp ($792.6 million), fruits and vegetables ($541.3 million), and rice ($454.7 million). This diversity requires import-export services to be flexible and specialized for each type of goods. Particularly for perishable items such as seafood and fresh produce, cargo transportation services have had to enhance cold storage and refrigerated transport capabilities to ensure product quality when reaching foreign consumers.#freight delivery service#freight and logistics companies#local agent#customs broker#combined truck#crostrade#cfs warehouse#non commercial#cargo#no permit
The positive export results in Q1 2025 have opened bright prospects for the entire year. Logistics companies are intensifying investments in technology and infrastructure to meet the market’s increasingly high demands. Export consignment activities and export services are forecasted to continue strong development in the coming quarters, especially as the free trade agreements Vietnam has signed continue to take effect, expanding export opportunities for Vietnamese agricultural, forestry, and fishery products.#freight delivery service#freight and logistics companies#local agent#customs broker#combined truck#crostrade#cfs warehouse#non commercial#cargo#no permit
