Specifically, total fisheries output for November 2025 is estimated at 14,596 tonnes, down 12.97% year-on-year. Of this, aquaculture production reached 13,955 tonnes (down 13.20%), while wild-caught output hit 641 tonnes (down 7.64%).
In the aquaculture, fish production was estimated at 11,783 tonnes (down 12.74%); while shrimp output fell more sharply to 1,721 tonnes (down 19.09%). Other aquatic products reached 452 tonnes, representing a slight 0.72% increase year-on-year. Both farming area and productivity of several cultured species declined, clearly reflecting the adverse impact of unfavorable weather conditions during the late-season stage.
For brackish-water shrimp, the stocking area in November was estimated at 856 hectares, down 3.93%. Harvested area reached 252 hectares (down 1.75%); while yield fell to 11.5 tonnes per hectare, a sharp 19.01% decrease, resulting in a significant drop in output compared with the same period last year.
Farmed fish production - primarily pangasius - also recorded a notable drop due to slower harvesting progress. In November, the harvested area reached 37 hectares while yield fell by nearly 21%, dragging output down 14.60% year-on-year.
By contrast, cumulative figures for the first 11 months of 2025 indicate relatively solid growth for Tay Ninh’s fisheries sector. Total fisheries output reached 165,008 tonnes, up 5.43% compared with the same period in 2024. Aquaculture production amounted to 159,079 tonnes (up 6.07%), including fish production of 132,897 tonnes (up 6.56%) and shrimp production of 21,515 tonnes (up 4.19%).
Meanwhile, cumulative capture fisheries output for the first 11 months totaled 5,929 tonnes, down 9.17% year-on-year. Notably, inland capture declined sharply by 17.31%, while marine capture slipped slightly by 0.44%.
According to statistical authorities, the sharp decline in fisheries output in November was largely seasonal and driven by unfavorable weather conditions. Nevertheless, cumulative results underscore aquaculture as a bright spot, contributing to stabilize overall growth of Tay Ninh’s fisheries sector in 2025.
(vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s tuna exports reached USD 81 million in April 2026, down 6% compared to the same period in 2025. In the first four months of the year, export turnover totaled USD 289 million, down 4.8%. Although the overall export picture has yet to brighten significantly, market trends are becoming increasingly diversified rather than moving in a single direction.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s pangasius industry is undergoing strong restructuring starting from the broodstock and fingerling segment in order to improve productivity, quality, and export competitiveness. This is considered a critical foundation for the sustainable development of the industry amid rising production costs and increasingly stringent market requirements.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) According to Vietnam Customs data, pangasius exports in April 2026 reached USD 206 million, up 18% compared to the same period in 2025 — marking another consecutive month of double-digit growth since the beginning of the year. Cumulative pangasius export turnover in the first four months of 2026 reached USD 720 million, up 17% year-on-year, reflecting the positive growth momentum of this key export product.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s shrimp exports in the first four months of 2026 maintained positive growth momentum, reaching approximately USD 1.5 billion, up 15% compared to the same period last year. However, behind this result lies diverging trends across markets, as the global shrimp industry continues to face pressure from inflation, high inventories, price competition, and increasing trade risks.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In Vinh Tuy commune (Kien Giang Province), many shrimp farmers are adopting bottom aeration systems and reporting clear economic benefits, helping increase income and reduce production risks.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first three months of 2026, Vietnam’s exports of crabs and other crustaceans reached more than USD 93 million, up 23% compared to the same period last year. The result shows that the sector is experiencing a fairly positive recovery, especially in its two key product groups: crabs and swimming crabs. However, behind the growth figures are several concerns: export markets remain highly concentrated, raw material supply is unstable, and trade barriers from the US and EU are becoming increasingly stringent.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In Ca Mau province, many farmers are transitioning from traditional methods to high-tech shrimp farming, adopting recirculating systems with minimal water exchange to improve efficiency and reduce risks. In Hung My commune alone, there are about 260 super-intensive shrimp farming households covering more than 265 hectares, playing a key role in local economic development.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In the first three months of 2026, Vietnam’s exports of fish cake and surimi reached USD 63 million, down 5% compared to the same period last year. Although total export value declined slightly due to decreases in some key markets, many other destinations continued to post strong growth, opening up room for this convenience-oriented processed segment in the coming quarters.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Favorable weather conditions in the early months of 2026 have brought encouraging signs for fisheries activities in Quang Tri. Output has grown steadily, contributing to improved livelihoods for local residents.
Entering 2026, Vietnam’s seafood industry is facing a period of both high expectations and mounting pressures. Following the positive recovery in 2025, production and export activities in Q1/2026 demonstrated the strong adaptability of Vietnam’s seafood business community amid continued global trade volatility, intensifying international competition, and increasingly stringent compliance requirements in import markets.
