Vietnam bans raw rare earth exports from Jan 2026 to boost domestic processing and reduce reliance on China.
Vietnam has revised its geology and minerals law to ban raw rare earth exports starting January 2026, aiming to boost domestic processing and build a self-reliant rare earth industry.
The law mandates strict government oversight, allowing only approved companies to operate in exploration, extraction, and processing.
Though Vietnam holds an estimated 3.5 million tonnes of rare earths—sixth globally—it lacks refining capacity, limiting immediate impact.
The move supports global efforts to diversify supply chains away from China, with a national strategy expected by early 2026.
