Speaking to the press on Monday, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Phung Duc Tien announced that agricultural, forestry, and fisheries exports in February reached $4.4 billion, a 37-percent increase year on year.
As a result, total exports for the first two months of the year amounted to $9.38 billion, up more than eight percent from a year earlier.
Prominent among the key commodities, coffee exports fetched $1.58 billion, a 26-percent rise in value despite a 28-percent decline in volume, with an average export price in January-February hitting $5,574.5 per tonne, a spike of 76 percent from the same period last year.
Germany, Italy, and Japan are the three largest markets for Vietnamese coffee, accounting for market shares of 16.6 percent, 9.4 percent, and 8.2 percent, respectively.
In January, coffee export earnings increased year on year by 53 percent from Germany, 5.6 percent from Italy, and 10.4 percent from Japan.
“Similarly, exports of pepper, seafood, wood and wood products, and rubber over the past two months have all registered significant growth compared to last year,” Tien said.
This year, coffee shipments are projected to reach $6 billion, surpassing the 2024 record of $5.62 billion.
