Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications.
Vietnam Fibre Crop Production was 96.42 Thousand Tonnes in 2024, down 0.3% on 2023. Vietnam’s fibre crop production represents the country’s agricultural output of crops cultivated primarily for natural fibre extraction and industrial applications. The indicator measures the annual production volume of fibre crops, including crops such as cotton, jute, hemp, and other plant-based fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper manufacturing, and related industries.
Vietnam Fibre Crop Production moved from 92.08 Thousand Tonnes in 2015 to 96.42 Thousand Tonnes in 2024 (+4.7%), an average of +0.5% a year. The series high was 97.41 Thousand Tonnes in 2020 and the low 92.08 Thousand Tonnes in 2015.
The gap between the series high (2020) and low (2015) is 5.33 Thousand Tonnes. The sharpest single-year move was +1.5% in 2020.
Among the 17 countries in this dataset, Vietnam ranks 2 for 2024, behind Brazil (102.6 Thousand Tonnes) and Canada (26.87 Thousand Tonnes). It accounts for 14.6% of the global total in 2024.

Data definition
Fibre Crop Production — Fibre crop production refers to the annual agricultural production output of crops primarily cultivated for obtaining natural fibres used in textiles, ropes, paper, and other industrial applications. The indicator measures the quantity of fibre crops produced within a country or region over a specified period, reported in tonnes or metric tons. It includes major fibre-producing crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and other plant-based fibres, with production statistics reflecting agricultural cultivation, harvesting, and output levels. The data represents country-level production trends and is compiled from international agricultural databases, including FAO and national agricultural reporting systems where available.
The indicator includes the production volume of agricultural fibre crops grown for commercial, industrial, and domestic fibre extraction purposes. It covers harvested quantities of natural fibre crops such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp, sisal, kenaf, and other similar crops classified under fibre crop production. The data includes production from both large-scale commercial farming and smallholder agricultural systems, capturing annual output changes, cultivation patterns, and regional variations in fibre crop supply.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibres derived from petrochemical or industrial processes, processed textile products, yarns, fabrics, and other manufactured fibre-based goods. It does not include fibre crops grown solely for non-fibre purposes, agricultural residues, waste materials, or secondary fibre recovery from recycled sources. The data also excludes downstream processing activities such as spinning, weaving, textile manufacturing, and trade activities, focusing only on primary agricultural production of fibre crops.

Fibre crop production in Vietnam reflects the country’s agricultural capacity, rural cultivation patterns, and contribution to the domestic and regional natural fibre supply chain.
During the period from 2015 to 2024, Vietnam’s fibre crop production remained relatively stable, showing moderate fluctuations influenced by changes in cultivated area, agricultural practices, market demand, and competition from synthetic fibres. The production trend highlights Vietnam’s continued participation in fibre crop cultivation despite the country’s increasing focus on textile manufacturing and fibre processing industries.
The indicator includes harvested production volumes from commercial farms and smallholder agricultural systems engaged in fibre crop cultivation. It captures annual output variations, changes in farming practices, and regional differences in production capacity. The data provides insights into Vietnam’s agricultural resource availability and the role of fibre crops within the broader agricultural economy.
The indicator excludes synthetic fibre production, processed textile goods, yarns, fabrics, and downstream manufacturing activities. It also excludes recycled fibres and agricultural residues not intended for fibre extraction. By focusing only on primary agricultural production, the indicator helps evaluate Vietnam’s contribution to natural fibre availability, agricultural sustainability, and the supply base supporting fibre-related industries.
