In the first 10 months of this year, the total export value of pangasius to this market reached US$ 428.3 million, accounting for 35.3% of the total pangasius export and down 18% over the same period in 2019.

It is anticipated that, in 2020, the value of pangasius exports to the US market might decrease by over 15% compared to 2019.
