Vietnam's corn imports reached over 8.08 million tons in the first 9 months of 2024, with Argentina being the largest supplier and the average price per ton being 245.4 USD. Import volumes and values from other markets such as Thailand, Laos, and India saw varying changes compared to the previous year. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development emphasized the importance of corn in the livestock and poultry industry, which requires nearly 40% of the animal diet. To reduce reliance on imported corn, experts recommend investing in research for high-yield, disease-resistant corn varieties, advancing cultivation technologies, and implementing policies to support farmers in accessing capital, technology, and markets.
