Vietnam’s exports of bamboo and rattan products decreased by 24.28 percent in February 2025 compared to January, reaching US$56.35 million, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Vietnam’s bamboo and rattan products exports total US$130.76 million for 2025, driven by steady demand despite a month-on-month decline.
