In 2021, the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic caused the Vietnamese government to introduce social distancing, isolation, movement restrictions, and other preventing and limiting Covid-19 measures. Seafood enterprises have faced difficulties and challenges from on-site production, limitations in purchasing raw materials, difficulties in transporting goods, leading to the risk of supply chain breakage. However, with the Government's drastic policies in quickly applying vaccines and being flexible in disease control, businesses have had conditions to promptly restore production and export in the last months of the year. With that growth momentum, in the first quarters of 2022, Vietnam's seafood exports continue to recover and accelerate, contributing to bringing seafood exports to 10 billion USD.
Mr. Phung Duc Tien - Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development spoke at the Ceremony
