In Jan-Apr 2016, pangasius consumption in the global market began to recover, especially in large markets. In early and late 2015, pangasius sales posted the negative growth with the slump in the import price by importing markets. However, in the first 4 months of this year, pangasius import price from some markets has signs to report year-on-year rebound.
Notably, out of main pangasius importers of Vietnam, the shipments to China - Hong Kong witnessed a year-on-year significant increase. Among the biggest pangasius importers of Vietnam, Asean stayed as 3rd in Jan-Apr of 2015, however, in Jan-Apr this year, China - Hong Kong (taking up 13.3% of total export value) outstriped Asean to rank the 3rd and Asean with the proportion of 8.7% ranked the 4th. The reason was that pangasius exports to the Asean countries were on the downward trend while shipments to China remarkably increased.
In the first 4 months of 2016, Vietnam pangasius exports to China & Hong Kong valued US$67.49 million, up 61.1% year on year. Particularly in Apr 2016, the figure to this market estimated at US$22.98 million, up 93.7% from Apr 2015.
Pangasius export turnover to Asean in Jan-Apr of 2016 reached US$44.03 million, down 3.3% year on year. Out of the Asean countries, Thailand (the export value of US$15.87 million) remained the leading pangasius importer of Vietnam, followed by Singapore and the Philippines with the export value of US$11.17 million and US$9.41 million, respectively.
In the period, the U.S. stayed as the largest pangasius importer from Vietnam with the import value of US$115.16 million (accounting for 22.7% of total export value), up 7.2% from the same period last year. In which, the U.S increased imports of fresh pangasius fillets.
From mid-March up to now, raw pangasius price of Vietnam soared after the standstill. This was driven by a drop in the country’s pangasius farming area and production, especially in some key provinces. Pangasius price now was up to VND22,000 per kilo.
