The exhibition brings together the collective strength of 28 central ministries and agencies, 34 provinces and cities, along with over 110 major enterprises and economic groups. More than 230 booths are scientifically and modernly arranged across an area of over 250,000 m², divided into 11 thematic zones. The displays highlight the achievements of nearly 180 sectors, including industry, agriculture, commerce and investment to culture, science and technology, healthcare and the environment - offering a vivid and comprehensive picture of the nation’s development over the past 80 years.
Within the framework of this significant event, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) is honored to collaborate with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, participating in the “Creation and Development” ecosystem at Hall 1 – Kim Quy Exhibition Hall. VASEP’s seafood pavilion features iconic products from Vietnam’s seafood enterprises, including shrimp, pangasius, tuna, marine products and dried products. These are not only Vietnam’s leading export staples that have elevated a global presence but also a reflection of the dynamic and sustainable development of the entire country’s seafood industry.
On the opening day, August 28, the “Seafood” pavilion represented by VASEP became one of the exhibition’s highlights, attracting a large number of visitors and receiving special attention from leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, the Vietnam Farmers’ Union, the State Audit Office, the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA), along with representatives from many other ministries and organizations. In addition to the diversity of key export products, standout items such as a 27kg yellowfin tuna (presented by Hai Nam Company) and three oversized pangasius broodstock (from Vinh Hoan Corporation) left a strong impression, drawing significant attention from visitors.
The display area of VASEP and seafood enterprises at the exhibition carries significant importance. It serves as an opportunity to promote the image of Vietnam’s seafood industry to a wide domestic and international audience. The showcased products are not only the result of creative labor but also demonstrate the industry’s resilience, technological innovation, commitment to environmental sustainability and the growing prestige of Vietnamese goods in global markets.
Additionally, the exhibition opens up opportunities for connection and cooperation within the seafood business community. Notably, the presence of the seafood industry in an exhibition showcasing the outstanding achievements of nearly 180 sectors further underscores its vital role and significant contributions to the national economy.
VASEP and the seafood business community are honored to participate in this nationally significant event, thereby contributing to promoting the image of Vietnamese seafood as dynamic, sustainable and globally integrated. This is undoubtedly a significant milestone, providing further motivation for seafood enterprises to continuously innovate, enhance product quality and strengthen Vietnam’s position on the global seafood map.
From the opening day on August 28 to September 2, the seafood pavilion consistently attracted heavy foot traffic as visitor numbers surged. According to the organizers, within the first six days, millions of visitors attended, reflecting the special appeal of this nationally significant event.
Notably, per the Prime Minister’s decision, the exhibition has been extended by an additional 10 days, running through September 15 (compared to the original plan of ending on September 5), to meet the growing demand for visits and experiences from the public. The exhibition is open to the public and visitors free of charge, operating continuously from 8 AM to 10 PM daily.
Some highlights from the exhibition:
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) While Vietnam’s shrimp exports to many major markets continued to post positive growth in the first months of 2026, exports to the United States declined, highlighting growing competitive pressures and trade barriers facing the Vietnamese shrimp industry.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Egypt is emerging as one of the most promising destinations for Vietnamese tuna exports in 2026. During the first four months of the year, export turnover to this market exceeded USD 7.3 million, marking a sharp increase compared to the same period over the previous two years. As Egypt’s tuna imports continue to recover and demand for canned tuna remains strong, the market is becoming increasingly attractive for Vietnamese tuna processors and exporters.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) During the first four months of 2026, Vietnam’s pangasius exports to CPTPP member countries reached nearly USD 128 million, accounting for 18% of the country’s total pangasius export value and increasing by 21% compared to the same period in 2025. Demand patterns varied significantly across the bloc: Mexico primarily imported fresh and frozen pangasius products, while Japan and Canada recorded substantial shares of processed products. Australia remained focused on frozen fillets but continued to maintain a portion of processed imports.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Despite the slow recovery of the U.S. market and continued trade-related challenges facing Vietnam’s shrimp industry, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation (MPC) has set ambitious targets for 2026. The company aims to produce 68,800 metric tons of finished shrimp products, generate consolidated revenue of VND 19.9 trillion, and achieve VND 1.059 trillion in pre-tax profit. If achieved, these figures would represent the highest revenue and profit levels in the company’s history.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) HungHau Foods Joint Stock Company (HungHau Foods) has been honored at the 33rd Asia-Pacific Economic Forum, receiving two prestigious awards: “Top 10 Outstanding Asia-Pacific Enterprises 2026” and “Top 10 Outstanding Entrepreneurs” awarded to HungHau Foods CEO, Ms. Nguyen Yen.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a period of sluggish imports in 2025, the Chinese market has returned with strong shrimp purchasing momentum in the first months of 2026. However, alongside rising demand comes an increasingly stringent import control system, covering quarantine requirements, food safety standards, registration procedures, and traceability. This makes China a market that offers both significant opportunities and growing risks for Vietnamese shrimp exporters.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Recently, in Long Xuyen City, An Giang Province, the Institute of Policy and Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (IPSARD) and the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) organized a workshop to announce the results of the project “Food Loss Assessment in the Pangasius Value Chain in the Mekong River Region.” The project aims to provide scientific evidence to support the sustainable development of Vietnam’s pangasius industry.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Shrimp prices in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta have recovered since early May, helping to improve farmers’ confidence and accelerate stocking activities for the 2026 farming season. However, farmers remain cautious due to rising input costs, unfavorable weather conditions, and disease risks.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) On May 27, the Vietnam Trade Office in India, in collaboration with trade promotion agencies, industry associations, and businesses from both countries, organized the online seminar “Vietnam–India Seafood Trade Forum and Supply-Demand Connectivity 2026.” The event aimed to promote trade cooperation, investment, and seafood supply chain connectivity between Vietnam and India amid the ongoing restructuring of global markets.
