The US, Brazil, and many other markets are currently increasing imports of Vietnamese tilapia, helping us earn over $99 million (approximately 2,500 billion VND) in 2025

The $550 billion mark is more than a target. It is a stress test for Viet Nam’s export resilience in 2026, as global uncertainty deepens and the old growth model nears its limits.

Seafood exports to the US were estimated at US$96 million in January, falling by nearly 10 per cent over the same period last year

2025 was the most successful year on record for Viet Nam’s cinnamon industry, with export volume climbing to 120,295 tonnes and value achieving US$300.2 million, the highest in the industry’s history.

Rapid changes in global trade patterns are prompting calls for Viet Nam to redesign its import-export strategy, shifting the focus from scale-driven growth to a more comprehensive approach that prioritises quality, value addition and economic resilience.

This year, the textile and garment industry aims for export turnover of 49-49.5 billion USD, an increase of approximately 8% compared to 2025.

Viet Nam continues to attract strong interest from international organisations and global investors, even as the world economy faces ongoing uncertainty related to geopolitics, trade tensions and monetary policy shifts.

Economic indicators for January show that the economy continues to maintain its growth momentum as manufacturing recovers, exports surge following a cyclical low-season, and public investment is boosted from the beginning of the year.
