The main products displayed at the exhibition include pangasius, shrimp, tuna, tilapia, clams, cephalopods, dried seafood products, value added goods, mixed foods. Deep-processed products are very diverse, convenient and unique. Besides, Vietnam also offers "ready to eat" "ready to cook" products that meet the rapidly changing consumption trends after the pandemic. This exhibition attracts many importers and traders looking for new sources of supply for the supermarket system. This event is like a “door” for Vietnamese enterprises to test and introduce products during the transition process from raw materials to value-added products.
Vietnam's seafood exports to the EU reached over $1.3 billion in 2022, an increase of 21.6% compared to 2021. Most of Vietnam's key seafood exports to the EU market have grown strongly. Although the world situation has many fluctuations, which directly and indirectly affect Vietnam's seafood exports, the EU has always been one of top export markets for Vietnamese seafood.
The motto of Vietnam's seafood throughout the 2023 International Fairs will be "Vietnamese Fisheries - Sustainable Destination" to convey the message that the Vietnam seafood industry is transferring to a green, clean, sustainable orientation.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Spain, Mr. Hoang Xuan Hai and commercial counselor, Mr. Vu Chien Thang visited Vietnamese seafood enterprises to exchange information, grasp the situation of seafood exports in Vietnam. The Vietnam Trade Office in Spain also had a representative to attend the fair to meet, encourage and exchange information with businesses.
Within the framework of the fair, the VASEP continues to organize propaganda activities, paying attention to the two main products of Vietnam, which are shrimp and pangasius, through the provision of propaganda publications.
In addition to trading activities, this year, VASEP has also organized more demonstrations of dishes made from pangasius, shrimp, tuna, and other value-added products
In addition to trading activities, this year, VASEP has also organized more demonstrations of dishes made from pangasius, shrimp, tuna, and other value-added products under the theme of “Healthy Convenience” with Vietnamese chefs that lived and worked in Spain for many years.
In the difficult context in the first quarter of 2023, attending international exhibitions is a valuable opportunity for businesses to assess market, orient production and export for 2023-2024.

The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) officially announces that the Vietnam International Seafood Exhibition (Vietfish 2026) will take place from August 19–21, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), Ho Chi Minh City.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s seafood exports recorded strong growth in the first half of 2026, but the performance was increasingly uneven across products, markets and enterprises. VASEP’s newly released premium report provides the detailed data and analysis needed to understand what lies behind the headline figures and prepare for the more challenging months ahead.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Brazil remains one of the key markets for Vietnamese pangasius in South America. However, exports to the market showed signs of slowing in the first half of 2026, while frozen pangasius fillets continued to account for the overwhelming majority of exports.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Marking 27 years of supporting Vietnam’s seafood industry, the Vietnam International Seafood Exhibition (VIETFISH 2026) will officially return from August 19–21, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, on its largest scale ever. Under the core theme “Innovation – Sustainability,” the event promises to provide a comprehensive picture of the transformation of Vietnam’s seafood industry toward greater value addition and sustainable development.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) With less than three weeks remaining, the Vietnam Fisheries International Exhibition – Vietfish 2026 will officially take place from August 19–21, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. Under the theme "Innovation – Sustainability," Vietfish 2026 will provide a comprehensive networking platform for seafood businesses, buyers, distributors, industry experts, government agencies, and domestic and international visitors.
(vasep.com.vn) As part of the Vietnam Fisheries International Exhibition – Vietfish 2026, the technical seminar “Green and Sustainable Technology Solutions for the Aquaculture and Seafood Processing Value Chain” will take place from 09:30 to 11:45 on August 20, 2026, at Convention Room B, Level 2, SECC, Ho Chi Minh City. The seminar is jointly organized by VASEP, the Department of Fisheries and Fisheries Surveillance, and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam, focusing on technological innovation and sustainable transformation across Vietnam’s seafood value chain.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Market fluctuations, rising production costs, and increasingly stringent requirements from export markets are placing growing pressure on the shrimp industry. In response, Vinh Long Province is promoting high-tech shrimp farming integrated with production–consumption value chains to improve efficiency, reduce risks, and enhance the industry's value.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam's tilapia exports to Japan posted strong growth in the first half of 2026, while a promising new trend has emerged in the value-added product segment. Notably, Vietnamese tilapia fillets have been exported to Japan for use in sushi and sashimi, creating new opportunities to enhance the value of the industry in one of the world's most demanding seafood markets.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a relatively sluggish first quarter, Vietnam's exports of fish cakes and surimi showed a clearer recovery in the second quarter, particularly in June. Export value in the first six months of 2026 reached USD 148 million, down 2% year on year. However, the newly imposed 12.5% additional U.S. tariff on Vietnamese goods, intensifying competition in Northeast Asia, and increasingly stringent traceability requirements in the EU are making the outlook for the second half of the year more uncertain.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In June 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports reached nearly USD 458 million, up 24% year-on-year. In the first six months of 2026, export value totaled USD 2.35 billion, an increase of 14.2% compared with the same period last year. Growth was driven mainly by the Chinese market and the strong performance of lobster exports, while shrimp exports continued to face pressure from U.S. tariffs and rising logistics costs.
