Vietnamese chrysanthemum exports to Japan reached USD30.45 million in the first eight months of the year, according to customs figures cited by VnExpress. The article describes that as nearly VND800 billion and the largest value within a specified group of 20 products.
The statistical scope matters
The 20-product group's combined value is USD173 million, giving chrysanthemums approximately 17.6%. The leading position concerns that group, not every Vietnamese export to Japan.
Full-year 2025 chrysanthemum exports to Japan were USD43.6 million, up 7.01%. That annual period differs from the current eight-month figure, so the totals do not directly establish a year-on-year increase or decrease.
The report also cites approximately 9,097 tonnes imported from Vietnam in 2024 and almost 8,700 tonnes during the first 11 months of 2025. Those are separate reporting periods.
Production and market requirements
Industry representative Đặng Phúc Nguyên links relatively steady demand to flowers used in religious activities in Japan. His assessment is not a guarantee of future prices or orders.
Lâm Đồng is identified as a main production region, with concentrated growing areas and technology supporting quality and output. The article places those factors alongside price competitiveness.
Cut flowers also face plant-quarantine requirements in the importing market. The report does not certify that every shipment or exporter already meets them.
The nearly VND800 billion figure is VnExpress's published conversion, rather than a new exchange-rate calculation made for this account.
