(VAN) The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) notes the US is the second-largest agricultural supplier to Viet Nam, with fruits being the most favored items.
US media reported that US agricultural exports to Viet Nam have surged over the past two years, and more favorable market access is opening up new opportunities for the fruit trade.
Also according to VNA, a new report from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that the US is the second-largest agricultural supplier to Vietnam, with turnover reaching USD 4.7 billion in 2025, a significant increase compared to under USD 3.5 billion in 2024. In the final quarter of 2025, the US was the second-largest supplier of fresh fruits to Viet Nam, holding an 8.3% market share, second only to China.

According to data on the USDA homepage, Viet Nam is a country with the potential to increase its imports of US fresh fruits, particularly thanks to recent bilateral trade negotiations between the two countries and improved market access for US suppliers. The export turnover of fresh fruits from the US alone reached USD 91.1 million in 2025. US fresh fruits exported to Vietnam include apples (USD 47.1 million), peaches (USD 19.6 million), grapes (USD 17.6 million), and other fresh fruits (USD 1.7 million).
Recent trade negotiations have opened up more opportunities for US exporters. On March 16, Viet Nam allowed the import of mandarins from the states of California and Florida (USA). Experts estimate the potential value of US mandarin exports to Viet Nam at USD 5 million.
Previously, on June 6, 2025, the Plant Production and Protection Department (PPPD) of Viet Nam granted import permits for fresh peaches and nectarines from California.
The decision was made following negotiations between the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the USDA and the PPPD, thereby confirming that the cultivation methods applied by US stone fruit producers are safe and effective. Experts estimate the annual market value for peaches and nectarines from California is USD 2.5 million.
Also according to Fruitnet, another factor creating opportunities in Viet Nam is the improvement in the macroeconomic indicators of the country, the fourth-largest economy in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with rising incomes and the development of the industrial processing sector driving demand for imported products.
The USDA report emphasizes that US agricultural exports to Viet Nam are a crucial and growing segment in bilateral trade relations, supported by market demand and recent trade agreements.
The growing middle class, along with the development of modern retail and food processing sectors, is driving the demand for US agricultural products. Vietnamese consumers increasingly appreciate US products thanks to their quality and safety.
