In 2016, the company completed 90% in production output; 96% in export turnover; 87% in net sales and 20% in profit before tax of the plan. Specifically, the export turnover of MPC reached US$531 million, and its production output was 42.457 MT. Accordingly, total net revenue was VND11.973 billion and pre-tax profit came to VND101 billion. After deducting tax expenses, the company earned VND72 billion in profit after tax. After deducting tax expenses, the company earned VND72 billion in profit after tax of its parent company.
Mr. Le Van Quang, Chairman of the company, said that out of all importing markets of MPC, the U.S remained as the largest one (US$220 million), accounting for 41% of total export value; followed by the Japan (US$109 million) and Canada (US$48 million) with the shares of 21% and 9%, respectively.
In terms of business plan in 2017, MPC set out an ambitious plan with total consolidated net sales of VND15.781 trillion and consolidated net profit of VND841 billion, 10 times more than 2016. In this plan, MPC set a target of US$681 million in consolidated export turnover with a combined production of 55,300 MT of finished shrimp.
Profit comes from the new shrimp farming method
According to Mr. Quang, with the determination of the whole company, MPC is to reach and even exceed the plan. In mid-March this year, MPC reduced the price of raw shrimp that farmers still made profit. Therefore, this year, the price of shrimp of Vietnam decreased, equal to that of India and Indonesia but sales will be higher than that of those countries thanks to better technology.
In April 2017, production of MPC posted a year-on-year increase of 32.6% with a 46.7% rise in the value. In the first four months of this year, the output climbed up 19% and the value rose by 28.6% and exceeded 10% of the plan. Mr. Quang added that May, June, September and October are the main crops so it is easy to complete the plan of the year.
Vietnam shrimp entered the U.S will be subject to anti-dumping tax for another five years, but this will have no impact on MPC’s exports, said Mr. Quang. After pursuing an eight-year lawsuit against the U.S side, MPC won the case and the DOC removed from the anti-dumping duty when MPC exports shrimp to the U.S. At the same time, the part of the anti-dumping duties that MPC has paid for in previous years will be refunded, which is expected to amount to millions of dollars.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a fairly strong upward trend in 2025, Vietnam’s clam exports entered 2026 with a mixed picture: strong growth at the beginning of the year, followed by a slowdown from March onward. According to Vietnam Customs data, Vietnam’s clam export turnover in the first four months of 2026 reached more than USD 38 million, up 2% compared to the same period in 2025.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s pangasius industry is facing new opportunities to expand its development space as many localities and businesses begin promoting marine farming models aimed at diversifying farming areas and adapting to climate change. However, for pangasius to truly “go offshore” and develop into a large-scale industry segment, significant challenges related to technology, broodstock, and markets still need to be addressed.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s tilapia exports in April 2026 reached USD 11 million, up 92% compared to the same period in 2025. This strong growth indicates that Vietnamese tilapia products are continuing to penetrate and expand rapidly in international markets. Cumulative export turnover in the first four months of 2026 reached USD 49 million, up 151% year-on-year.
(seafood.vasep.com) At VietShrimp Asia 2026, disease management trends in shrimp farming are shifting strongly from treatment-based approaches toward proactive prevention through environmental and pond ecosystem control.
(vasep.com.vn) After a period of strong growth, with export turnover reaching USD 38 million in Q1/2026 — up 174% year-on-year — the sector’s rapid expansion clearly reflects growing market opportunities.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first quarter of 2026, Vietnam’s pangasius exports to the ASEAN bloc reached USD 44 million, up 7% compared to the same period in 2025. After falling to the lowest level of the quarter at USD 9 million in February — reflecting the seasonal slowdown in orders after the festive period — exports recovered strongly to USD 18 million in March, the highest monthly value of the quarter. This development shows that import demand for pangasius in ASEAN remains relatively stable despite short-term fluctuations.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) On May 11, 2026, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced a positive comparability finding for Vietnam’s swimming crab fisheries, along with those of Indonesia and Sri Lanka, under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). With this decision, seafood and seafood products harvested from Vietnam’s swimming crab fisheries will continue to be eligible for import into the US market.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a slowdown in 2025, Vietnam’s tuna exports to Germany showed more positive signs in the first quarter of 2026. However, the recovery remains uncertain as consumer demand in Germany is still cautious, while market competition is increasingly driven by pricing and supply stability.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a sharp decline in 2025, Vietnam’s tuna exports to Israel are showing positive signs of recovery in the early months of 2026. According to Vietnam Customs data, export turnover to this market grew steadily month by month in Q1/2026, reaching nearly USD 10 million, up 33% compared to the same period in 2025. However, compared to Q1/2024, this level remains significantly lower, indicating that the recovery is still in its early stage following last year’s strong adjustment.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Entering 2026, the U.S. whitefish market has shown complex developments as global cod supply continues to tighten, while the U.S. trade environment becomes less stable. In this context, the U.S. market has had to become more flexible in sourcing alternative whitefish. However, relying heavily on Alaska pollock is not a long-term solution, as it is a strictly managed fishery with quotas and sustainability regulations, limiting any rapid increase in output to offset cod shortages.
