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.
