This year, because the production of cephalopod in the world has reduced, therefore this pushed the price of raw materials higher. As a result, Russia's cephalopod import value grew by nearly 43%, reaching more than US$24 million.
Russia currently boosted imports of a wide range of frozen squid products, accounting for 52%; followed by processed squid items (including smoked product) HS code 160554, accounting for 45% of the total import volume of cephalopod into the country. This year, imports of processed squid products increased by 19%, while those of frozen items fell by 21%.

China, Peru, Belarus, Thailand and Italy were the five largest suppliers to the Russian market.
Vietnam was currently one of the 10 major suppliers of cephalopod to this market. Up to the end of June, Vietnam’s cephalopod sales to Russia continued to increase. The figure in the first half of the year reached US$2.7 million, up 339% over the same period in 2017.
This year, due to the low production of cephalopod, China’s cephalopod exports to Russia decreased. As a result, the country is increasingly importing this item from other countries such as Peru, Thailand or Vietnam.
And this is a good opportunity for businesses to promote exports of cephalopod to the Russian market.
Having identified its weakness in 2023, entering the first quarter of 2024, Vietnam's shrimp industry has undergone a clear change, reflected through increases in exports to major markets.
It is necessary to develop more detailed and consistent regulations on seafood production for export in line with the implementation of solutions towards sustainable and responsible fishing practices.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) After increasing to the highest level in 2022, Canada's tuna imports in 2023 dropped to the lowest level in the past 10 years, reaching 35 thousand tons, down 24% over the year. Canada is currently one of the 15 largest tuna import markets in the world.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Chile, one of the countries participating in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), has tended to increase tuna imports from Vietnam in the past 3 years. According to statistics from Vietnam Customs, this South American country imported nearly 3 million USD of tuna products from Vietnam in the first 2 months of 2024, an increase of 58% over the same period in 2023.
Economic and social development activities, overexploitation, pollution, diseases, and climate change have adversely affected the ecological environment, leading to a severe decline or the extinction of many precious indigenous aquatic species.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The prices of pangasius fingerlings and raw pangasius in ponds fell in March, following steady increases in the first two months of this year.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In February 2024, the average export price of Vietnamese pangasius to markets increased by 4%, although the volume decreased by 40% compared to the previous month.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) There was a 6% decline in Vietnam's pangasius exports to Brazil in February 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, with the total value reaching 6 million USD.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first two months of 2024, Poland—which ranks as Vietnam's fourth-largest EU supplier of tuna—became a noteworthy market. Vietnam's tuna exports value to Poland increased by 786% in comparison to the same period last year, totaling over $2 million USD and contributing about 2% of the country's overall tuna exports revenue.
Regulations on the protection and sustainable development of aquatic resources, Việt Nam's legitimate rights at sea in accordance with international law and the achievements that the country has carved out to remove the European Union’s “yellow card” will be brought closer to local people.
