The activities of harvesting, catching, transporting, consuming and processing aquatic products are on the rebound. Harvest of aquaculture products in November 2021 was estimated at 468.7 thousand tons, up 3.9% over the same period last year. In which: fish production reached 320.4 thousand tons, up 3.1%; shrimp production reached 95.8 thousand tons, up 5.9%.
Tra fish output harvested in November 2021 reached 112.4 thousand tons, down 0.4% over the same period last year. At this time, farmers still have the mentality of stocking moderately due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, thus leading to a shortage of fish materials for export processing, fish weighing 0.8 -1 kg/pc. This is also the reason why the price of raw pangasius in the Mekong Delta provinces is at a high level.
Vannamei shrimp production in November 2021 was estimated at 65.2 thousand tons, up 7.8% over the same period last year; black tiger shrimp reached 23.4 thousand tons, up 1.7%. The price of raw whiteleg shrimp in the southwestern provinces continued to be at a high level compared to the same period last year.
Harvesting and consuming vannamei shrimp in localities is more favorable after the easing of social distancing measures, processing enterprises gradually regain production momentum and people in shrimp farming areas focus on farming and year-end harvest.
The fishing production in November 2021 was estimated at 293.1 thousand tons, up 2.2% over the same period last year, including: fish 220.5 thousand tons, up 2.7%; shrimp reached 13.4 thousand tons, equal to the same period last year. In which, sea-exploited seafood in November 2021 was estimated at 275.2 thousand tons, up 2.3% over the same period last year.
Generally, in 11 months, aquatic production was estimated at 7,908.2 thousand tons, up 0.5% over the same period last year. In which: aquaculture achieved 4,252.7 thousand tons, up 0.2%; capture fisheries output reached 3,655.5 thousand tons, up 0.8% (output from marine fishing reached 3,480 thousand tons, up 0.9%).
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) After increasing to the highest level in 2022, Canada's tuna imports in 2023 dropped to the lowest level in the past 10 years, reaching 35 thousand tons, down 24% over the year. Canada is currently one of the 15 largest tuna import markets in the world.
(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.
Economic and social development activities, overexploitation, pollution, diseases, and climate change have adversely affected the ecological environment, leading to a severe decline or the extinction of many precious indigenous aquatic species.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The prices of pangasius fingerlings and raw pangasius in ponds fell in March, following steady increases in the first two months of this year.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In February 2024, the average export price of Vietnamese pangasius to markets increased by 4%, although the volume decreased by 40% compared to the previous month.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) There was a 6% decline in Vietnam's pangasius exports to Brazil in February 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, with the total value reaching 6 million USD.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first two months of 2024, Poland—which ranks as Vietnam's fourth-largest EU supplier of tuna—became a noteworthy market. 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.
