Russia Increases Agricultural Exports to Vietnam

According to the latest data, in the first half of 2025, the Russian Federation supplied this country with approximately 30% more agricultural products than in January-July 2024.

As experts note, trade relations between Russia and Vietnam are currently developing at a noticeable pace. This includes agricultural products.

At the same time, the range of specific items exported to Vietnam is quite wide. In particular, this includes wheat, meat and baby food.

For example, in the first 7 months of 2025, about 90 million tons of wheat were exported. In monetary terms, this is about 19 million dollars.

At the same time, the Russian Federation sent 250 tons of wheat gluten to Vietnam. This is about 250 thousand dollars.

As for meat, the growth is even more noticeable here. For example, at the beginning of 2024, Russia exported 44 thousand tons of pork to Vietnam for $80 million, and at the beginning of 2025 — 61 thousand tons for $146 million.

At the same time, exporters believe that Vietnam’s potential as an importer of Russian agricultural products is far from exhausted at the moment and see great prospects in it.

In particular, companies from the Russian Federation are going to start working with retail chains. This implies serious work on studying the preferences of consumers from Vietnam and further familiarizing them with some products from the Russian Federation.

However, the result may be not only an increase in the volume of supplies, but also ensuring their stability over a long period of time, experts note.

Some analysts report that the greatest interest among Vietnamese citizens was aroused by such products from the Russian Federation as chilled meat, sausages, dairy products, as well as drinks and confectionery. It is planned that the export volumes of these items may be increased in the near future.

In addition, Russia is going to supply sunflower oil and seeds, pasta and oatmeal, as well as some other types of products to this country.

In the future, there is every reason to expect an expansion of the range of such products and the consolidation of their supplies on a long-term basis, experts believe.

It is interesting that at present, a retail outlet selling Russian goods has already opened in Vietnam. They are sold under the Soul of Russia brand.

A similar initiative was implemented by the Vietnamese retailer Masan Group together with the Russian network company Magnit.

If demand continues, it is quite possible that new retail outlets will open in the foreseeable future, which will allow more Vietnamese to become familiar with Russian products.
