Increasing sharply in volume

Overall, Vietnam’s soybean imports in the first 10 months of 2025 increased sharply in volume due to the recovery of feed production demand, particularly from large enterprises in the livestock, poultry, and aquaculture sectors.

However, import prices generally showed a downward trend due to stable global supply and competition among exporting countries.

This trend is expected to continue through the end of 2025 as the global market remains affected by high inventories and fluctuations in grain prices.
