This blog report is compiled from Agro Infos data and insights, summarizing Vietnam–EU agri-trade performance in October 2025. Vietnam’s AFF exports to the EU reached $481M (+6.0% MoM, +6.3% YoY), with the EU accounting for 8.0% of total AFF export turnover. Key highlights include strong Vietnam fruit export growth (F&V $37.6M, +53% YoY, led by passion fruit), continued strength in coffee ($154.2M, +51.3% YoY despite a monthly drop), solid results in seafood and cashew, and faster momentum in wood products (notably plywood growth). The report also covers improved EU compliance outcomes under EVFTA—fewer EU warnings and tighter border inspection focus—plus ongoing EUDR readiness efforts to strengthen traceability for sensitive supply chains.

III. Vietnam Fruit Export Compliance Update: Regulatory & Quality Improvements
Vietnam’s efforts to comply with stringent EU regulations are yielding positive results, particularly crucial for F&V and other sensitive products:
• The number of EU warnings issued against Vietnamese exported agricultural products decreased by approximately 50% during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period last year.
• This improvement reflects successful quality control by exporting enterprises.
• Currently, only four products remain on the EU border inspection list: durian, okra, bell pepper, and dragon fruit.
Meeting these standards is vital for maintaining market access under the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).
