# Higher requirements on agro exports to the EU - VCCI - Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry

> The Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Environment reports that Vietnam's agriculture, forestry and fisheries exports to the EU reached $9.24 billion in 2025, or 13.2% of sector exports. Coffee was the fastest-growing item, with EU-bound value up 68.3%. Meeting the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is seen as a driver of digital transformation and governance upgrades.

## Why it matters

Stricter EU traceability rules add compliance costs for Vietnamese exporters, which could affect coffee and other agricultural trade flows into the EU, though the feed-commodity price effect is minor.
