Vietnam’s soya bean imports fall 7.81 percent in February 2025

Vietnam’s soya bean imports fell 7.81 percent month-on-month in February, reaching US$79.22 million, according to Vietnam’s General Department of Customs. This follows January’s total of US$85.93 million, bringing year-to-date imports to US$165.15 million.

The USA remained the dominant supplier, accounting for 75.45 percent of total imports at US$59.77 million, despite a 26.02 percent decline from the previous month. In contrast, imports from Canada surged 296.81 percent to US$18.34 million, making up 23.15 percent of the total. Cambodia also saw a significant increase, with shipments more than doubling to US$678,750.

Overall, while Vietnam’s reliance on US soya beans remains strong, the surge in imports from Canada suggests a shift in sourcing strategies.
