Vietnamese rubber exports totaled 109,050 tons in March, a volume 43.1% higher than that recorded in February, but 3.3% below the historical average for the period, according to data released this week by Vietnamese customs and analyzed by [source missing]. DATAGRODespite the monthly recovery, the Asian country continues to register a decline in the accumulated 12-month period, reflecting weakened shipments in recent months. From April 2025 to March 2026, Vietnam shipped 1.91 million tons of rubber, a 3.56% decrease compared to the immediately preceding 12 months. In terms of revenue, March shipments reached US$ 210.65 million, a value 49.0% higher than that recorded in February, but 2.1% below the record observed in the last five years. The average price per kg of exported rubber last month was US$ 1.93, a 4.12% increase compared to the US$ 1.86/kg recorded in February, consolidating the third consecutive monthly increase. DATAGRO indicates that, due to seasonality, April is the worst month for Vietnamese rubber shipments. From May onwards, however, exports tend to show progressive increases, with more significant volumes in the second half of the year, especially in the last three months. Currently, Vietnam is the world's fourth largest producer of natural rubber, behind Thailand, Indonesia, and Ivory Coast.
