With a positive growth result of 17% compared to the first half of 2020, it shows the efforts of pangasius exporters in the context that the world economy has not recovered and consumption abroad has not changed much.
China - Hong Kong: In the first 6 months of this year, the total value of pangasius exports to this market reached 206.5 million USD, down 0.7% over the same period last year. In particular, in June 2021, the value of pangasius exports to China decreased by 11.3%. It can be seen that, in the first half of this year, exporting pangasius to the Chinese market is more difficult because of strict regulations on inspection of imported frozen seafood at ports. In addition, in the first half of this year, Chinese whitefish exporters also faced difficulties, so the volume of processed whitefish for export in China was still quite large.

By the end of June 2021, the total export value to this market reached 168.7 million USD, an increase of 57.7% compared to the same period in 2020. It is forecasted that in the next quarter, this positive growth will continue to be maintained.
