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.

(vasep.com.vn) The global tilapia market continues to grow, creating significant opportunities for countries with strengths in aquaculture, processing, and exports. Against this backdrop, Vietnam’s tilapia industry is gradually developing toward higher quality, greater product diversification, and broader market reach. At Vietfish 2026, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), together with the VASEP Tilapia Producers and Exporters Club, will host a joint booth to promote the image and potential of Vietnamese tilapia to domestic and international buyers.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s seafood exports are heading towards $12 billion this year, potentially the highest level on record. Yet one of the country’s export strengths is facing a growing list of challenges.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The first six months of 2026 indicate that Vietnam’s tilapia industry is entering a new phase of development, with strong export growth but also greater demands for production scale, quality and international competitiveness.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietfish 2026, the Vietnam International Seafood Exhibition, will officially take place from 19–21 August 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City. As Vietnam’s largest annual seafood trade event, organized by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), Vietfish 2026 will once again bring together leading seafood companies, industry experts, and international partners from across the global seafood value chain.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s seafood exports reached USD 1.1 billion in July 2026, up 4.8% compared to the same period in 2025. Cumulative exports in the first seven months of the year totaled nearly USD 6.86 billion, an increase of 11.5% year-on-year. Exceeding the USD 1 billion mark in July further reinforces the prospect that Vietnam’s seafood exports could surpass USD 12 billion in 2026. However, the July figures also send a clear signal that the most favorable growth period may have passed: overall export growth slowed to just 4.8%, pangasius exports fell 6.1%, tuna exports were virtually flat, while exports to the EU, South Korea, and the Middle East all recorded double-digit declines.
(vasep.com.vn) As part of the Vietnam Fisheries International Exhibition (Vietfish 2026), the seminar "Global Seafood Market and the Future Workforce: Trends, Opportunities, and Sustainable Development Pathways for Vietnam's Seafood Industry" will take place from 2:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. on August 19, 2026, at Convention Room B, Level 2, SECC, Ho Chi Minh City. This is the first of five specialized seminars at Vietfish 2026, focusing on key issues that are shaping the long-term development of Vietnam's seafood industry.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnamese seafood exports recorded impressive growth, generating nearly 6 billion USD in revenue during the first six months of the year, up 13% compared with the same period last year.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Fishermen in Ha Tinh are gradually overcoming difficulties to maintain the efficiency of seafood exploitation. In the first six months of 2026, the entire province achieved a production of more than 23,000 tons of seafood, worth more than 1,200 billion VND.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) June 2026 brought encouraging signs for Vietnam's tuna exports, with export value rising 20% year-on-year to nearly USD 72 million. However, this increase has yet to offset the prolonged slowdown seen in key markets such as the European Union (EU), where import demand remains weak. The outlook for the second half of the year is expected to become more challenging as freight rates continue to climb.
(vasep.com.vn) As part of the Vietnam Fisheries International Exhibition (Vietfish 2026), the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), in collaboration with the Agency for Domestic Market Management and Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, will organize the Domestic Seafood Supply–Demand Matching Program on the morning of August 20, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), Ho Chi Minh City. The program aims to foster direct business connections between Vietnamese seafood producers and processors and domestic distributors, retailers, and foodservice channels.
