# Vietnam increases feed wheat imports by 60% on price advantage

> Vietnam's feed wheat imports rose 60% in January–August 2026 versus a year earlier, driven by wheat's lower cost relative to other feed ingredients. Total wheat imports reached 5.4 million tons, with Argentina supplying 84% of feed wheat, and USDA projects Vietnam's total wheat imports to fall to 6.3 million tons in 2026/27.

## Why it matters

Strong price-driven feed wheat buying from Argentina supports South American wheat export demand and substitutes for corn and DDGS in Asian compound feed. The projected decline in 2026/27 imports, and the slowdown in August purchases, limit the upside for prices.
