Vietnam: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   VM2023-0059
This report provides updated information about the adoption of agricultural biotechnology in Vietnam. In the first six months of 2023, Vietnam approved six outstanding biotech corn hybrids for cultivation after the country suspended its appraisal process since 2017. Biotech corn continues to be adopted in a wide range of regions in the country due to its resilience in the face of pests and climate impacts. The country remains a major importer of biotech crops and products, including soybeans, corn, distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), soybean meal, and cotton.
