The move is regarded as a significant milestone in PVCFC’s strategy to expand overseas. Beyond opening access to a market with substantial consumption capacity, the presence of Ca Mau fertilizer in the U.S. – known for its stringent technical, environmental and traceability standards – is seen as an affirmation of the credibility and quality of Vietnamese products amid increasingly rigorous global requirements.

The company noted that the domestic market is currently in a seasonal lull, with agricultural demand slowing after the Lunar New Year. Stepping up exports during this period is expected to help it reduce inventory at home and enhance production and business efficiency, particularly as global fertilizer prices remain at favorable levels.

In the first quarter of 2026, PVCFC maintained strong export growth, with total export volume reaching 150,000 tons, up 25% year-on-year. The company has continued to supply demanding markets such as Australia, shipping more than 32,000 tons.

For 2026, it has identified import-export activities as a key growth pillar, aimed at expanding market reach and optimizing value chain efficiency. Exports currently account for around 33% of the company’s revenue and 30% of its total sales volume.

Building on its presence in 18 countries, PVCFC plans to further broaden its international footprint this year. In addition to consolidating traditional markets such as Cambodia, the company is seeking opportunities in high-standard markets capable of sustaining higher price points, including Australia and New Zealand.
