This unexpected decline is the consequence of the fact that in 2020, exporting to this market faced many obstacles for example the COVID-19 epidemic. Right from the beginning of 2020, the late return of Chinese seafood processing factories and the disruption of trade due to the coronavirus made the export value of pangasius to this market suddenly decrease. Since the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter, activities to this market became more bustling, preparing for the National Day of China. In October 2020, the export price of frozen pangasius to China - Hong Kong suddenly increased to 2.52 USD/kg, which was higher than the same period last year and much higher than the other months of the year, ranging from 1.55 - 1.65 USD/kg. This price was lower than the previous quarter. But then, the policy of disease control across the border and at ports and border gates for all imported food products made not only Vietnamese pangasius but also many other imported seafood products of other countries stagnant.
Vietnamese pangasius exporters mainly export the following pangasius products to China - Hong Kong: Frozen fillet pangasius, frozen pangasius stomach, fried/dried fish bladder, frozen butterfly-cut whole pangasius, frozen pangasius belly, cut/sliced skin on pangasius fillets, frozen portion cut pangasius fillets, frozen seasoned pangasius fillets, frozen whole pangasius H&G ...
In 2020, there were nearly 145 enterprises exporting pangasius to the Chinese market, 40 enterprises exporting to Hong Kong market, of which, the 3 enterprises with the largest export value to the Chinese market during this period were: IDI Corp; VINH HOAN Corp and TG FISHERY. The three largest pangasius exporters to Hong Kong market were IDI Corp, VINH HOAN Corp and VDTG FOOD.

Having identified its weakness in 2023, entering the first quarter of 2024, Vietnam's shrimp industry has undergone a clear change, reflected through increases in exports to major markets.
It is necessary to develop more detailed and consistent regulations on seafood production for export in line with the implementation of solutions towards sustainable and responsible fishing practices.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After increasing to the highest level in 2022, Canada's tuna imports in 2023 dropped to the lowest level in the past 10 years, reaching 35 thousand tons, down 24% over the year. Canada is currently one of the 15 largest tuna import markets in the world.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Chile, one of the countries participating in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), has tended to increase tuna imports from Vietnam in the past 3 years. According to statistics from Vietnam Customs, this South American country imported nearly 3 million USD of tuna products from Vietnam in the first 2 months of 2024, an increase of 58% over the same period in 2023.
Economic and social development activities, overexploitation, pollution, diseases, and climate change have adversely affected the ecological environment, leading to a severe decline or the extinction of many precious indigenous aquatic species.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The prices of pangasius fingerlings and raw pangasius in ponds fell in March, following steady increases in the first two months of this year.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In February 2024, the average export price of Vietnamese pangasius to markets increased by 4%, although the volume decreased by 40% compared to the previous month.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) There was a 6% decline in Vietnam's pangasius exports to Brazil in February 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, with the total value reaching 6 million USD.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first two months of 2024, Poland—which ranks as Vietnam's fourth-largest EU supplier of tuna—became a noteworthy market. Vietnam's tuna exports value to Poland increased by 786% in comparison to the same period last year, totaling over $2 million USD and contributing about 2% of the country's overall tuna exports revenue.
Regulations on the protection and sustainable development of aquatic resources, Việt Nam's legitimate rights at sea in accordance with international law and the achievements that the country has carved out to remove the European Union’s “yellow card” will be brought closer to local people.
