Poland: Downed pangasius imports due to unrecovered economic situation

News 08:52 13/09/2014
(pangasius-vietnam.com) Vietnam reported strong rise in exports of seafood and pangasius products to Poland in many years. Since 2008, trade with this market has been decreasing. However, some exporters still predict that Poland will be an important buyer of Vietnamese pangasius products in the future, when its economy gets recovered. With 40 million of population, Poland is considered as a potential seafood market in Europe.

According to Vietnam Customs, in the period of 2012 and 2013, Poland ranked the 7th position among European pangasius consumers with total import value of US$18.3 million in 2013, down 14.7 percent against that of 2012. This deep fall was nearly equal to that reported by the EU's three leading pangasius import countries.

The International Trade Center (ITC) reported that, through October 2013, Poland sourced 146,124 MT of frozen fish fillets (HS0304) from outside, worth US$463.3 million. China was its biggest supplier in terms of volume and value.

Frozen pangasius fillets shared 5.5 percent in Poland's overall imports of frozen fish fillets. This country mainly sourced pangasius from Vietnam, Germany and Czech. In which, products from Vietnam made up of 90.9 percent. In 2013, Vietnamese frozen pangasius fillets priced at US$1.8 – 1.9 per kilogram averagely.

Through October 2013, Alaska pollock took a major part in Polish frozen fish fillets segment, followed by herrings and pangasius. However, herrings, pollock, salmon and cod were the most imported species into this market, accounting for 70 percent of total seafood imports in 2012.
