The Philstar Biz report states that the Department of Agriculture (DA) announced on Tuesday its intention to increase agricultural exports to Vietnam.
The move follows a bilateral meeting between officials from Manila and Hanoi, where both sides discussed expanding trade in farm goods. The DA aims to leverage Vietnam’s growing demand for Philippine products such as tropical fruits, coffee, and seafood.
Boosting farm exports to Vietnam aligns with the Philippines’ broader strategy to strengthen agricultural trade within ASEAN and reduce dependence on traditional markets. No specific targets or timelines were disclosed.
