According to the statistics of Vietnam Customs, other processed tuna products were mainly exported to Thailand, while fresh/frozen/live tuna products were mainly shifted to the Philippines and Indonesia.
In early 2016, these countries are also promoting imports of tuna from other countries (especially from China or from island nations such as Kiribati) to offset the decline in domestic supply of wild-caught tuna and meet their export orders.
So far, Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia are both competitors of Vietnam in ASEAN and the promising tuna importers from Vietnam thanks to favorable geographical location and their quality requirement that is not too strict.
