Dairy: Vietnam fresh milk production up 8.9% in April, maintains positive year-to-date growth

Vietnam’s fresh milk production continued its upward trajectory in April 2025, with output estimated at 141.2 million litres, representing an 8.9 percent increase compared to April 2024, according to data from the National Office of Statistics.

This follows preliminary figures of 133.7 million litres in March, signalling monthly momentum in domestic dairy output. The April result is one of the strongest single-month performances in the past year.

Over the first four months of 2025, Vietnam’s cumulative fresh milk production totalled 537.6 million litres, up 3.1 percent year-on-year. This steady growth comes as the industry seeks to meet rising consumer demand for dairy in Vietnam driven by population growth, dietary shifts, and expanding interest in value-added dairy products.

The increase reflects broader investment in domestic dairy farming, particularly in key regions such as Moc Chau, the Central Highlands, and parts of the Mekong Delta. However, domestic supply still falls short of demand, and Vietnam continues to rely heavily on imports of dairy ingredients to bridge the gap.

Key figures:

  • April 2025: 141.2 million litres (↑ 8.9% YoY)
  • March 2025: 133.7 million litres (preliminary)
  • Cumulative Jan–Apr 2025: 537.6 million litres (↑ 3.1% YoY)
