Vietnam imported US$141.70 million of soy beans in August, up 2.19 percent from US$138.66 million in July, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
Year-to-date imports stood at US$837.61 million.
Brazil remained the dominant supplier, shipping US$110.72 million worth of soy beans, representing 57.75 percent of total imports.
The United States followed with US$24.98 million, up 17.13 percent month-on-month and accounting for 32.61 percent of the total.
Canada contributed US$5.30 million, slightly down from July, while Argentina and Cambodia made only minor contributions earlier in the year.
Soybeans are a cornerstone of both the culinary landscape and agricultural economy in Vietnam.
They are a fundamental part of the daily diet and a key component in the country’s growing livestock industry.
Notably, Vietnam’s own production falls short of its substantial demand.
As a result, the country is a major importer of soybeans, with the majority of these imports being used to produce animal feed for its rapidly expanding livestock and aquaculture sectors.
