Strategic goal: From regional leader to Asia’s No.1 Seafood Expo
After a quarter-century journey, Vietfish has firmly established itself as Southeast Asia’s leading seafood exhibition. With greater ambitions, Vietfish 2025 sets a bold new target: repositioning itself to become Asia’s No.1 seafood exhibition.
This is not merely a race for scale, but a comprehensive upgrade in quality. The concept of “Asia’s No.1 exhibition” means Vietfish will serve as a “hyper-connector” – the central hub where all flows of trade, technology, and knowledge in the seafood industry across the continent converge in Vietnam.

“Connecting Asia to the world”: Innovation and sustainability
The new theme “CONNECTING ASIA TO THE WORLD” embodies this strategic vision. It reflects two core commitments that will define Vietfish’s future, with the message “Innovation and Sustainability”:
1. Relentless innovation: To connect with the world, we must speak a common language—the language of technology, quality, and creativity. Vietfish 2025 will be the stage for cutting-edge technologies, breakthrough business models, and solutions that enhance Asia’s seafood competitiveness on the global stage.
2. Sustainable development: Connection is not only about trade but also responsibility. In the face of climate change and resource depletion, sustainability is the only path forward. Vietfish commits to promoting responsible farming, processing, and business practices that protect marine ecosystems for future generations.
Decoding the new brand identity: Where aspiration meets legacy
The new brand identity of Vietfish 2025 represents a perfect blend of industry heritage and future aspirations:
Logo – simplified & bold: Building on the old design, the new logo adopts sharper, minimalist lines. The stylized fish conveys motion and breakthrough, symbolizing a confident, modern, and decisive Vietfish.
Unique, vibrant patterns: Inspired by familiar images in the seafood industry and the exhibition itself, designers turned them into modern, minimal graphic icons:
Color Palette:
Together, these design elements create a vibrant visual language that tells the story of a diverse seafood industry driven by vision, dynamism, and readiness to engage with the world.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam's tilapia exports to Japan posted strong growth in the first half of 2026, while a promising new trend has emerged in the value-added product segment. Notably, Vietnamese tilapia fillets have been exported to Japan for use in sushi and sashimi, creating new opportunities to enhance the value of the industry in one of the world's most demanding seafood markets.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After a relatively sluggish first quarter, Vietnam's exports of fish cakes and surimi showed a clearer recovery in the second quarter, particularly in June. Export value in the first six months of 2026 reached USD 148 million, down 2% year on year. However, the newly imposed 12.5% additional U.S. tariff on Vietnamese goods, intensifying competition in Northeast Asia, and increasingly stringent traceability requirements in the EU are making the outlook for the second half of the year more uncertain.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In June 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports reached nearly USD 458 million, up 24% year-on-year. In the first six months of 2026, export value totaled USD 2.35 billion, an increase of 14.2% compared with the same period last year. Growth was driven mainly by the Chinese market and the strong performance of lobster exports, while shrimp exports continued to face pressure from U.S. tariffs and rising logistics costs.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) As part of Vietfish 2026, the Hosted Buyer Program is designed as a specialized B2B matchmaking initiative for selected international buyers, providing opportunities to meet directly with Vietnamese seafood exporters, gain the latest market insights, and experience Vietnam's seafood supply chain firsthand.

In the first four months of the year, total export turnover reached USD 720 million, up 17% compared to the same period last year. This result reflects improving demand across many markets, as well as the efforts of Vietnamese pangasius enterprises to maintain production, secure orders, and adapt to changing market conditions.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The application of high technology in shrimp farming is delivering positive results in the coastal areas of Vinh Long Province, contributing to improved production efficiency and creating significant potential for further industry expansion. However, to fully capitalize on this potential, the province is focusing on aquaculture zoning, infrastructure investment, and promoting modern, sustainable production.
