According to the statistics of Vietnam Customs, in May-Jul 2016, Vietnam tuna exports to Canada recorded continuous climbs. In July, the shipments to Canada reached US$1.3 million, up 76% compared to July 2015. The figure in Jan-Jul this year estimated at US$5.2 million, up 11% year on year.
However, tuna imports into Canada tended to slow down. According to statistics of the International Trade Centre (ITC), in the first half of this year, the country imported nearly 20 thousand MT of tuna, worth by nearly US$85.6 million, up 1.8% in volume but down 6.6% in value. Vietnam was the 5th largest tuna supplier to this market, behind Thailand, the Philippines, the U.S. and Italy.
Canada mainly imports canned tuna from other countries. However, this year, Canada reduced imports of canned tuna, while increased those of fresh/live/frozen tuna. According to ITC, in the first 6 months of this year, Canada imported more than 18 thousand MT of canned tuna, worth by more than US$71 million, down 0.3% in volume and 6.2% in value. Meanwhile, imports of fresh/live/frozen tuna into Canada reached more than US$1.9 million, up 26.7% year on year.
Vietnam sold fresh/live/frozen tuna to the market with the total value of nearly US$3.9 million in Jan-Jul 2016 in which frozen tuna loins were mainly exported. Frozen tuna loins exported to the market enjoy tax exemption.
However, due to raw material shortage, Vietnam has to compete with other countries in the region such as Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.
In the last months of the year, Vietnam tuna exports to Canada forecasted to remain unstable, but increase over the same period last year.
