In Vietnam, the growth outlook for the animal feed industry in 2025 is expected to be more positive than the previous year. With stable supplies of raw materials and declining input prices, domestic finished feed prices are projected to continue trending downward.
Under Decree 73/2025/NĐ-CP, which amends import tariff schedules under Decree 26/2023/NĐ-CP, import duties for several key feed materials have been reduced. Import duty on corn kernels has been cut from 2% to 0%, while soybean meal has been reduced from 1–2% to 0%.
Vietnam is expected to further increase soybean imports in 2025 due to rising feed demand and favourable tariff conditions, especially for imports originating from the United States.
