Recently, FIMEX VN announced its sales figures for August 2024. The company reported a revenue of USD 30.38 million for the month, marking an increase of nearly 36% compared to the same period last year.
In August, the production of processed shrimp reached 3,450 tons, a 74% increase year-on-year. This growth was attributed to several contracts signed with customers, necessitating increased processing to meet delivery deadlines. The sales volume of processed shrimp totaled 2,726 tons, up 36% compared to August 2023.
Meanwhile, the production of finished agricultural products decreased by 42% year-on-year to 44 tons. However, sales of agricultural products reached 116 tons, up 37% compared to the same period last year.
For the first eight months of 2024, FIMEX VN's total sales are estimated at USD 156.6 million. The company has set a sales target of USD 210 million for the year, having achieved 75% of this target by the end of August.
FIMEX VN also noted that by the end of August, its farms had completed the shrimp harvest and are now preparing ponds for the next farming season, which will commence when weather conditions improve.

According to the 2023 annual report, FIMEX VN’s Chairman of the Board, Ho Quoc Luc, observed that in 2023, Vietnam’s shrimp industry faced significant risks due to economic recessions in major markets like the U.S. and Europe, persistently high inflation, and declining consumer demand. Additionally, fierce competition from Vietnam’s main shrimp rivals, Ecuador and India, added to the challenges.
Although Japan, FMC’s largest market, did not experience the soaring inflation seen in Western countries, it was still affected by weak purchasing power and consistently rising exchange rates.
Looking ahead to 2024, FIMEX VN anticipates that challenges in the shrimp industry will persist for at least the first six months of the year, potentially with even greater scale and impact compared to 2023. Specifically, tensions in the Red Sea could directly affect shrimp exports to the U.S. and Europe, while anti-dumping and countervailing duty lawsuits in the U.S. may reduce profits and weaken the competitiveness of Vietnam's shrimp businesses.
