Looking back at 2021, Vietnam's pangasius export industry faces many difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the hot increase in freight rates... Nevertheless, the pangasius industry still fulfills its target for the whole year: This is also a premise to expect pangasius exports to continue to expand in 2022, bringing Vietnam's competitiveness index up in the market.
In recent days, raw pangasius has been in a strong uptrend. According to observers, in Can Tho city and many provinces such as An Giang, Dong Thap, Ben Tre... fish farmers sold to processing factories for 26,000-27,000 VND/kg, while in the same period last year the price was only at around 20,000 VND/kg. In which, the price of raw pangasius increased due to many companies promoting purchasing for export processing and preparing goods to serve the increasing market demand. The supply of raw pangasius in many localities decreased because people reduced farming, creating conditions for prices to move up.
