HÀ NỘI – Việt Nam’s import value of animal feed and material for production of animal feed witnessed a year-on-year increase of 41.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year.

This was stated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The value reached US$955 million in the first three months, including $343 million in March.

The ministry said that Việt Nam mainly imported those products from Argentina, accounting for 47.2 per cent of total imports; the United States, 15.7 per cent; India, 4.2 per cent; and China, 3.4 per cent.
