During the past 3 years, China, the US, and the EU were still the three largest and highly expected markets of Vietnamese pangasius exporters. Therefore, every move and developments from these markets have a great impact on the psychology of Vietnamese pangasius exporters. In which, the US was one of the special markets.
Earlier this year, Vietnamese pangasius exporters have high hopes for positive growth to the US market after a year of declining months.
In the first quarter of 2020, only in January 2020, pangasius export value to the US plunged by 55.3%, then spiked by 67% and 26.3%, respectively over the same period in the remaining two months of the quarter.
However, since the second quarter, when the US became the center of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sudden increase in coronavirus infections has brought the US foodservice industry back into an epidemic prevention state.
As of June 2020, at least 16 states have halted or canceled reopening plans in response to an increase in COVID-19 infections. These states include Arizona, Texas, California, Florida, New York, and New Jersey. This has a great impact on the import and export of pangasius to the US market.
For the three consecutive months from April to June 2020, pangasius export value to the US decreased by 20.7%, 52.1%, and 31.5%, respectively over the same period in 2019.
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) 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.

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.
