Weekly data: after 10 months, Vietnam's farm exports are still growing, but unevenly.
Total exports of agricultural, forestry and fishery products reached USD 63.02 billion, up 8% year on year. The sector as a whole ran a trade surplus of USD 18.91 billion, up 6.4%, the money brought in is real.
Coffee tells the opposite story: export volume rose 18.7% but value fell 5%, to USD 7.09 billion. Domestically, Central Highlands green coffee beans on the morning of 4/11 were down to just VND 84,000–84,500/kg, well below the VND 93,000–94,000/kg range seen in October.
Short take: the total is still growing thanks to scale. But coffee repeats the old lesson: volume cannot save margins when prices fall.
