Industry Overview

Urea is a crucial component of Vietnam’s fertilizer market, primarily serving agricultural fertilizer needs. As a nitrogen fertilizer, urea is one of the most widely used single fertilizers in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s domestic urea production is mainly operated by state-owned or large enterprises, with production bases distributed across several provinces in southern and northern Vietnam.

Vietnam is a major agricultural country, and its demand for fertilizers has long remained at a high level. With the expansion of agricultural scale and the promotion of modern planting techniques, urea, as the most important nitrogen fertilizer, plays a core role in increasing crop yields, thus the market demand for urea continues to grow steadily.

Despite the continuous expansion of domestic production in Vietnam, the country still needs to import urea from the international market to supplement local supply and meet seasonal demand. Urea imports have been increasing in recent years, primarily due to strong agricultural demand and relatively tight domestic production.

Looking ahead, with continued agricultural development, policy optimization, and enhanced global market connectivity, Vietnam’s urea industry will be expected to further enhance its competitiveness and international market share on the basis of steady growth.

Import Market Overview

The import market for Urea is growing rapidly in Vietnam.

According to CRI analysis, Vietnam is a major agricultural country with a consistently high demand for fertilizers, especially urea. Due to limited domestic urea production capacity, Vietnam needs to import large quantities of fertilizers annually to meet agricultural production needs.

Vietnam’s urea import market is influenced by a combination of factors, including agricultural production demands, insufficient domestic supply, and international trade conditions. With the continued advancement of agricultural modernization, urea imports will be expected to maintain a growth trend.

According to CRI statistics, approximately 80 buyers in Vietnam imported urea in 2024, totaling US$ 181 million, an increase of 13.5% year-on-year. In 2025, Vietnam’s total urea imports reached US$250 million, a 38.0% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

China is Vietnam’s largest source of urea imports.

According to CRI analysis, China, Indonesia and Malaysia are the top three sources of Vietnam’s urea imports, accounting for approximately 47.2%, 16.3%, and 16.1% of total imports respectively in 2025.

CRI predicts that, influenced by factors such as the rapid development of Vietnam’s agriculture and insufficient domestic supply, Vietnam’s urea imports will continue to rise steadily in the future.

Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam’s Urea Industry

Investment Background

Vietnam’s urea industry possesses a certain foundation for foreign investment and a supportive policy environment. Vietnam is a major agricultural country with extensive rice, coffee, rubber, and fruit and vegetable cultivation areas, resulting in a long-term stable demand for nitrogen fertilizers, especially urea.

Meanwhile, Vietnam’s abundant natural gas resources provide a raw material foundation for ammonia-urea synthesis plants that use natural gas as feedstock.

Furthermore, with the advancement of agricultural modernization and increasing demands for higher quality agricultural exports, the upgrading of fertilizer product structures and the growing demand for environmentally friendly fertilizers offer foreign companies opportunities for technology transfer and product differentiation.

Investment Advantages

1. Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people’s livelihoods.

2. Relatively low labor costs.

3. Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.

4. Relatively relaxed policies and regulations provide foreign investors with comprehensive legal protections and generous preferential policies.

5. Vietnam has a high level of openness to the outside world, with 19 free trade agreements signed or in progress. Investors can use platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to explore a broader international market.

Investment Regulations

According to Vietnam’s Investment Law and other regulations, fertilizer production is a conditional investment sector in Vietnam, but there are no absolute restrictions on foreign investment. Foreign investors can establish wholly foreign-owned enterprises or joint ventures with local companies in accordance with the Investment Law and the Enterprise Law. Urea production enterprises must comply with the Fertilizer Management Regulations and relevant technical standards, obtain a production license, and meet environmental approval (Environmental Impact Assessment Report, EIA) requirements.
