Boosting shrimp exports for continued growth in 2025

News 09:13 23/01/2025
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Shrimp exports in 2024 reached nearly USD 4 billion, a 14% increase compared to 2023. Reflecting on 2024, the shrimp industry demonstrated resilience and persistent effort in overcoming challenges, solidifying its strong position in exports.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), in 2024, the brackish water shrimp farming area is estimated to reach 737,000 hectares (including 622,000 hectares for black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon and 115,000 hectares for whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei), with output reaching 1,264,300 metric tons, a 5.3% increase compared to 2023 (including black tiger shrimp output of 283,900 metric tons, a 3.2% increase, and whiteleg shrimp output of 980,400 metric tons, a 6% increase).

It is projected that in 2025, the brackish water shrimp farming area will reach 750,000 hectares, a 1.8% increase compared to 2024, and output will reach 1,290,000 metric tons, a 2% increase compared to the previous year.

Exports maintain growth momentum

Shrimp exports in 2024 maintained double-digit growth momentum, with exports to key markets such as the EU, China, and the US recording good growth. Demand for year-end festivities in the US and EU and demand for the Lunar New Year (Tet) in China contributed to increased orders from these markets.

Shrimp exports to Japan, although not increasing sharply, maintained positive growth momentum due to the stable exchange rate in the last quarter of the year and the recovery of the Yen.

In addition, exports to smaller markets such as Russia, Canada, Australia, the UK, and Taiwan also showed much potential in 2024.

The average export price of shrimp to various markets at the end of the year also showed positive signs. The average export price of whiteleg shrimp to the US in November 2024 reached the highest level since September 2023 (USD 10.4/kg). The export price of whiteleg shrimp to the EU has been increasing continuously since June 2024 and reached a high of USD 7.5/kg in November. The price of whiteleg shrimp exported to Japan also increased continuously from September 2024, reaching USD 9.2/kg in November. The export price of whiteleg shrimp to South Korea also reached an average price of USD 7.7/kg in November 2024, the highest level since September 2023.

The average export price of black tiger shrimp to Japan has been increasing continuously from September 2024 and reached a high of USD 13.8/kg in November. The export price of black tiger shrimp to South Korea also followed the same trend as Japan, reaching USD 11.4/kg in November 2024.

Domestic shrimp prices recovered at the end of the year, with a scarcity of raw shrimp supply. Major distribution systems around the world increased their search for supply from Vietnamese shrimp, although at higher prices, ensuring safety, leading to a significant increase in orders.
