Cumulatively, by December 15, 2024, export turnover to this market decreased by 18% compared to the same period in 2023, reaching over USD 30 million.

Secretary General of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) Nguyen Hoai Nam said that in the past 5-6 years, Vietnam's seafood export value has only hovered around 8-10 billion USD/year. To reach the value of 16 billion USD by 2030, Mr. Nam proposed establishing corporations/enterprises to exploit the sea.
