Vietnam and Brazil are enhancing cooperation in agriculture, energy, and biotechnology through a recent visit by a Vietnamese delegation led by Ambassador Bui Van Nghi to Maranhão state from February 25-28, 2026. The focus was on cities including Davinópolis and Imperatriz, with discussions on investment, trade, and strategic partnerships.

The relationship, established in 1989 and elevated to a Strategic Partnership in November 2024, has seen two-way trade reach $7.76 billion in 2025. Plans include developing sustainable aviation fuel from sweet potatoes and expanding existing agricultural facilities. Maranhão state authorities committed $3.9 million for infrastructure to support a dry port project.
