Vietnam: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   VM2021-0087

In 2021, Vietnam completed its approvals for the outstanding product applications for food and feed import. Vietnam continues to benefit from biotech corn as a sustainable tool in the fight against fall army worm (FAW) and increased the production area to more than one hundred thousand hectares (ha) in 2020/2021. Growing domestic production also helps meet demand for local feed materials. Vietnam remains a major importer of biotech crops and products, including soybeans, corn, distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS), soybean meal, and cotton.
