In recent years, Vietnam’s agricultural exports have experienced remarkable growth, strengthening the country’s position on the global trade map. As the agricultural sector continues to transform, Vietnam is becoming not only a leading supplier of key agricultural products in Asia but also a trusted partner for international buyers thanks to its quality, safety, and commitment to sustainability.
Among this diverse landscape, Vietnam’s agricultural exports as ginger—a familiar spice has been emerging as one of the most promising products. One of the enterprises contributing significantly to this momentum is DATO, which has successfully exported ginger to the United States, Australia, South Korea, and several Middle Eastern markets.
Vietnam’s Agricultural Exports – A Strong Shift Toward Sustainability
Total Vietnam’s agricultural exports value has consistently surpassed tens of billions of USD per year, underscoring strong global demand for high-quality Vietnamese products. Beyond traditional exports such as rice, coffee, pepper, and cashew nuts, the country is witnessing notable growth in newer key categories including vegetables, spices, and medicinal herbs—particularly ginger.
Key factors driving Vietnam’s growing competitiveness include:
-
Widespread establishment of planting area codes with transparent traceability.
-
Standardized production following VietGAP, GlobalGAP, HACCP, and ISO.
-
Adoption of modern pre-processing and preservation technologies to minimize post-harvest losses.
-
Increasing share of value-added processed products.
-
A national orientation toward green and regenerative agriculture, meeting the demands of high-standard markets.
In this context, fresh spices such as ginger have become high-priority imports in many countries. Vietnamese ginger—well-known for its strong aroma and natural heat—possesses unique qualities that few regions can replicate. This creates a clear opportunity for companies like DATO to strengthen their position in the global market.
