China - Hong Kong

In January 2021, Vietnam's pangasius exports to the Chinese market were affected due to the regulations on inspection of imported frozen foods to prevent corona infection of some Vietnam - China border gates, causing the export value of pangasius to increase. to this market decreased by 31.3% over the same period last year. However, from the end of February and the beginning of March 2021, the export value of pangasius to this market increased from 16.7 to 28% over the same period last year. Currently, pangasius exports to China - Hong Kong market have grown again. By the end of April 2021, the total value of pangasius exports to this market reached 117.2 million USD, accounting for nearly 24% of Vietnam's total pangasius export value and up 5.4% over the same period in 2020. China - Hong Kong returned to the leading position in the top of the largest pangasius export markets of Vietnamese enterprises.

The US

In April 2021, the export value of pangasius to the US increased sharply by 136% over the same period last year, reaching 30.3 million USD. By the end of April 2021, the total value of pangasius exports to this market reached US$102 million, up 36.7% over the same period last year. The average export price of pangasius to the US market in 2020 was lower than in 2019, but in the first quarter of 2021, the average price of frozen pangasius fillets exported to the US increased to 2.87 USD/kg. Since the end of 2020, the inventory of pangasius in the US has not been much, in addition, the domestic catfish production of this country has also decreased. Therefore, right from the beginning of this year, the US has increased imports of frozen pangasius.

Brazil and Thailand

In April 2021, the export value of pangasius to these two markets skyrocketed.

By the end of April, the total value of pangasius exports to Brazil reached 22.3 million USD, to Thailand reached 21.2 million USD, up 38.7% and 8.5% respectively over the same period last year. The return of export growth to Thailand - the largest pangasius import market in ASEAN - is also a good signal to increase the value of pangasius exports to this region in the next quarter.
