Vietnam aims to reach 100 billion USD in agricultural, forestry and aquatic exports by 2030. This is an ambitious but feasible target if there are breakthroughs in quality, digital transformation and integration. However, challenges regarding green standards, small-scale production and climate change remain very significant.

Phương Thơ – The forum “What to do to achieve 100 billion USD in agricultural, forestry and aquatic exports?” organized by the Government Information and Communication Office on July 9, 2026 clarified many key issues. With current export value of over 70 billion USD (in 2025), the 100 billion USD target by 2030 requires fundamental changes in thinking and action. This article provides a detailed analysis of potential, challenges and specific solutions.

Vietnam’s Potential and Advantages

Vietnam is one of the world’s leading agricultural powers with clear competitive advantages:

• Large production volume: Leading the world in exports of rice, coffee, pepper, cashew nuts, aquatic products (shrimp, tra fish), and fruits (mango, dragon fruit, durian).
• Diverse biodiversity and climate: From the Mekong Delta to the Central Highlands and the North, enabling year-round production of many products.
• Free trade agreement system: CPTPP, EVFTA, UKVFTA, RCEP... helping reduce tariffs and access major markets.
• Labor and costs: Abundant labor force with competitive costs.

If average growth of 12-15% per year is maintained, the 100 billion USD target is entirely achievable by 2027-2028.

Challenges and Current Bottlenecks

Despite great potential, Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry and aquatic sector still faces many barriers:

• Quality and standards: EU, US, Japan and other markets require strict traceability, organic standards and low carbon footprint.
• Small-scale, fragmented production: Millions of smallholder farmers find it difficult to apply high technology and achieve large scale.
• Climate change: Severely affects rice productivity and coastal aquaculture.
• Processing and value addition: Low rate of deep processing, mainly raw exports, limited added value.
• Logistics and costs: High transportation costs, underdeveloped cold chain infrastructure.

Strategic Solutions to Achieve the Target

To reach 100 billion USD, comprehensive and breakthrough solutions are needed:

• Digital transformation and technology: Build a national traceability system and apply Agriculture 4.0 (IoT, AI, drones).
• Sustainable value chain development: Increase deep processing rates and build strong national brands.
• Support for businesses and farmers: Preferential credit policies, land, and training.
• Market expansion: Promote new FTA negotiations and fully utilize EVFTA and CPTPP.
• Sustainability and climate adaptation: Strong investment in resilient varieties, irrigation infrastructure and green economy.

Assessment and Advice for Investors

I highly appreciate the 100 billion USD target and believe it will be an important growth driver for the economy. This is also a golden opportunity for investors in deep processing, cold logistics, agricultural technology and exports.

Risk disclaimer: This is not personal investment advice. Agricultural markets are heavily affected by weather fluctuations, international trade policies and global prices. Investors should closely monitor information and diversify their portfolios.
