April 2024: Many positive signals from tuna export markets Tuna exports with HS code 16 are increasing In the past 5 years, Vietnam's processed and canned tuna exports have tended to increase. In the first 4 months of the year alone, the export turnover of this product group increased from 91 million USD in 2020 to 154 million USD in 2024, an increase of 70%. In particular, Vietnam's canned tuna exports are gradually recovering, higher than the same period in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. On the contrary, exports of fresh and frozen tuna, mainly frozen tuna meat or loin with the HS code 0304, are unstable. After peaking in 2022, exports of this product group decreased sharply. Entering 2024, exports of product groups have increased again, but the increase is not high—up 6% over the same period. According to experts' forecasts, convenience is key for shoppers, and value-added seafood that is pre-marinated or ready to heat and eat will continue to attract buyers looking to create combination meals to combine cooking with prepared dishes. Therefore, consumption demand for processed and canned tuna products will improve in the near future. Exports to major markets accelerated In April 2024, Vietnamese tuna products were exported to more than 90 markets. In particular, tuna exports to main markets such as the US, EU, Israel, Canada, Japan, or Mexico all increased faster. In the US and EU markets, Russia, and Korea, the export growth rate in April 2024 compared to the same period doubled compared to the previous month, reaching 37%, 71%, 32%, and 158%, respectively. Notably, in the EU market, exports to the three leading markets, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands, all grew "gallopingly" at three digits. Along with that, tuna exports to some markets have reversed and increased, such as Japan, which increased by 33%, and Mexico, which increased by 43%. However, according to businesses, this growth is due to a decrease in inventory in the markets, but actually market demand is still better. #seafood #Vasep #tunaexports #positive #signals

Revitalizing Potato Production in Northern Vietnam: Opportunities and Challenges According to Lê Quốc Thanh, Director of the National Agricultural Extension Center, the Vietnamese government aims to increase the value of agricultural exports, including potatoes, to $8-10 billion by 2030. Despite a burgeoning demand for processed potatoes, with an estimated need of 180,000 tons annually, domestic production currently meets only 35-40% of this demand, necessitating […] https://lnkd.in/eyV5yGHF

🌍 Vietnam is increasingly integrating and welcoming many waves of foreign investment as well as exporting more to international markets. This requires us to adopt aquaculture methods that meet international standards. Currently, the use of traditional farming methods in many localities faces several disadvantages, such as: ❌ Difficult to control and adjust: Temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen are challenging to adjust and control accurately. ❌ Environmental pollution: Waste from ponds can easily be discharged into the environment, causing pollution and affecting ecosystems. ❌ Disease spread: Open spaces and interaction with the natural environment make it easy for diseases to spread. In this context, the long-term application of traditional farming methods will still cause some limitations. To advance further in the international seafood market, we need to adopt modern aquaculture technologies along with market trend awareness and updates. 🌱 Join Sea2home in exploring more technological solutions at seagotohome.vn #Sea2Home #Aquaculture #ModernTechnology #VietnameseSeafood #InternationalIntegration #EnvironmentalProtection

"Decade of Genetically Modified Corn in Vietnam: Productivity Gains and Sustainable Development" Over the past decade, the introduction of genetically modified (GM) corn in Vietnam has significantly improved productivity and provided notable socio-economic benefits to farmers. In 2022, GM corn cultivation reached 220,000 hectares, representing 26.5% of the country’s total corn area, with cumulative cultivation exceeding 700,000 hectares since 2015. GM corn varieties, which offer resistance to key pests such as corn borers and fall armyworms, have increased yields by an average of 30.4% and reduced pesticide use by 78%. Additionally, farmers growing GM corn have experienced cost savings of up to $31.30 per hectare and earned VND4.5-5 million more per hectare compared to those planting conventional varieties. However, GM corn's yield advantages are mainly seen in areas with high pest pressure, while its productivity is comparable to traditional varieties in regions with lower pest pressure. Experts have also highlighted potential risks to biodiversity, including shifts in pest dynamics and impacts on the soil microbiome. To optimize the use of GM corn, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development recommends close collaboration between seed suppliers and local agricultural authorities to strategically plan cultivation in high pest-pressure areas and ensure sustainable development.

📰CHALLENGES FOR THE GLOBAL COFFEE INDUSTRY: Output Declines Sharply in Vietnam and Brazil 🔎In Vietnam, although the recent heavy rains have alleviated concerns about drought, they cannot save the upcoming Robusta coffee crop yield. It is anticipated that Robusta production in Vietnam will decrease by 10-20%. This situation not only affects Vietnam but also Brazil, the world's largest coffee exporter, which is also witnessing a sharp decline in exports. 🔎The Chairman of the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (Vicofa) has warned about the Robusta coffee production situation. The combination of drought, extreme heat, and pest attacks such as mealybugs and red mites are the main reasons for the significant decline in the upcoming crop yield. 📊According to Vicofa's estimates, Vietnam's Robusta coffee production for the 2024/25 season will only reach about 21.40 to 22.70 million bags. 🔎The current situation poses many challenges for the Vietnamese coffee industry and the global market. However, with support from the international community and the relentless efforts of coffee growers, there is still hope for a brighter future. Solutions such as financial support, technology transfer, and effective pest control measures are being implemented to help the coffee industry overcome this difficult period. 📊Moreover, Brazil's coffee exports have also declined sharply. According to the latest data, Brazil's coffee exports as of June 25 have decreased by more than 24% compared to the same period last year, reaching only 2.882 million bags. #commodity #robusta #arabica #coffeevietnam #coffeebrazil #CoffeeMarket

This is probably one of the most significant numbers I have seen in the global dairy industry stats for a long time. In Australia we lament about markets lost, we scratch our heads about why we have become uncompetitive in globally in producing milk, and we try to cling on to the hype that went into the short term spike in demand in China and how everyone chased the Golden Egg and how we hope it will come back. But the reality is that it was all a false economy that sucked in a lot of new money whilst China built out their own supply to plug this demand gap. I spent a lot of time advising that this would happen and how we need to keep a balance of risks in our markets and don’t throw all our eggs in one basket. And I was also cautious about how much farm and cow IP and infrastructure we sold off for short term gain. Now those that chased this short term gain are so perplexed about how China became such a strong and fast growing competitive milk supplier. In conclusion all I can say is well done China. A country that respects the importance of food security, and backs it by providing the infrastructure and policy to enable investment and growth for the long term! A lot of lessons to be learnt here.

🇻🇳🌽 Corn production in Vietnam continues to decline 🌽📉 According to Vietnam’s General Statistics Office (GSO), over the first nine months of 2024, corn planting area reached 815,000 hectares. However, experts believe the actual production and cultivated area may be even lower than GSO’s estimates. Local corn struggles to compete with imports due to low yields and high production costs, making it less economically attractive for farmers than alternative crops. 🚜💸 Projections from the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service in Ho Chi Minh City indicate a continued reduction in corn acreage and production for the 2024/25 season, with land area expected to decrease to 800,000 hectares and production to drop to 3,9 million tons. 📈 Imports surged in 2024, with 6,9 million tons of corn brought in over the first eight months - a 40% increase from last year. Lower prices have fueled this rise, with Argentina and Brazil supplying the bulk of the imports, making up 74% and 23%, respectively. 🛳🇦🇷🇧🇷 With demand for livestock and aquaculture feed rising, USDA forecasts import volumes to reach 11 million tons for the 2024/25 season. #Vietnam #VietnamCornMarket #CornImports #VietnamAgriculture #USDA #USDAForecast #GSO #GSOData #FeedDemand #AgricultureUpdate
