Tridge summary

Vietnam imported 5.74 million tonnes of corn in the first seven months of the year, with 3.19 million tonnes coming from Argentina, making up 55.5% of the country's total imports. The import volume grew by 34% from the previous year, but the turnover only increased by 1.9% due to a decrease in corn prices. Argentina plays a significant role in meeting Vietnam's corn needs, with the trade relationship growing strongly. However, the large quantities of corn imported pose challenges to the country's food security and sustainability in agricultural production. Experts recommend promoting domestic corn production to reduce dependence on imports.
