Vietnam’s poultry sector performance in the first nine months of 2025

Meanwhile, small-scale farmers also tended to increase flock size to compensate for reduced pork supply.

Several provinces recorded strong poultry growth, including:

• An Giang: +15.7%
• Lam Dong: +11.3%
• Can Tho: +7.9%
• Lang Son: +7.6%

Higher output of poultry meat and eggs

With flock sizes rising and restocking activities running smoothly, poultry output continued to grow:

• Poultry meat production: 1.926 million tons, up 5.6%
• Egg production: 15.7 billion eggs, up 4.9%

These figures reflect stable domestic demand while Vietnam continues to strengthen its capacity for export supply.

Poultry prices improve significantly year-on-year

In September 2025, prices for several poultry products increased sharply:

• Colored-feather broilers (industrial): USD 2.29/kg, up 18.3% from August and 26.9% year-on-year
• White-feather broilers (industrial): USD 1.39/kg, up 11.1% from August and 21.4% year-on-year

Higher prices have improved farmers’ profitability after a lengthy period of high feed costs.

Poultry exports maintain growth momentum

Exports of poultry products continued to expand:

• Breeding chickens: 9 million birds, up 2.2 times
• Poultry eggs: USD 1.2 million (although down year-on-year, the volume remains notable)

These results demonstrate Vietnam’s growing competitiveness in regional poultry markets.

Overall assessment

With flock growth, production output, and selling prices all trending positively, poultry remains the fastest-growing and most resilient segment of Vietnam’s livestock industry in 2025.

However, authorities recommend that localities closely monitor market trends to avoid excessive flock expansion that could lead to oversupply and downward pressure on prices in the coming quarters.
