Increasing seafood imports from India
Since 2011, India has been the top supplier of fishery products to Vietnam with 20-percent proportion in Vietnamese import value. Vietnam mainly sources whiteleg shrimp and marine fish to process to export. In which, shrimp occupies 90 percent, the rest is tuna and cephalopod.
In the past years, Vietnam purchased more black tiger shrimp than whiteleg shrimp from India. In 2013, the proportion of whiteleg shrimp increased to 51 percent (3 folds above that of 2012) while black tiger shrimp was down by half to 37 percent year on year.
This decline was because India reduced its production of black tiger shrimp. Indian farmers grew more whiteleg shrimp to serve supply demands from global market and they did not face EMS disease.
