India's Farm Trade with Vietnam
Vietnam buys Indian groundnut, maize and other feed ingredients, and competes with India in cashew processing and rice exports.
Main Indian Farm Products Bought by Vietnam
- GroundnutGroundnut (peanut) is India's leading oilseed export. It is crushed for groundnut oil, eaten as kernels and snacks, and exported as hand-picked kernels to Southeast Asia.
- MaizeMaize is India's fastest-growing cereal. Poultry and cattle feed take the largest share, followed by starch mills and, increasingly, ethanol distilleries, with a smaller share eaten as food.
- CashewIndia grows raw cashew along its coasts, imports more from Africa, and processes it into kernels in Kollam, Mangaluru, Panruti and Palasa.
Ports and Logistics
Shipments go to Ho Chi Minh City and Haiphong; Vietnam also imports raw cashew from Africa that competes with Indian processors.
How Exports Work
Exporters register with APEDA (for most farm and processed foods), the Spices Board, the Coffee or Tea Boards, or IOPEPC, depending on the product. Shipments need a phytosanitary certificate from India's plant quarantine service, a certificate of origin, and any health or residue certificates required by Vietnam. India's export policy for some crops, such as onion, rice and wheat, changes often, so exporters check the current DGFT notifications before signing contracts.
