In Jan-Apr 2016, shipments to Brazil surged up with the value of over US$27.1 million, up 273.9% from the same period last year, while those from May 2016 were on the downward trend.
In QI/2015, pangasius exports to Brazil were stalled due to the temporary ban imposed by Brazil's Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture (MPA) on Vietnamese pangasius. Then, since Apr 2015, the MPA allowed to grant import license of seafood products from Vietnam after a pause. Therefore, Vietnam pangasius exports to the market posted the sharp increase in the first 3 months of 2016.
Besides, a drop in Brazilian real and economic crisis in Brazil also led to difficulties in exports to this market. In addition, pangasius from Vietnam had to strongly compete with whitefish products from China. While China focused on exports of Alaska pollock, Vietnam boosted shipments of frozen pangasius fillets.
In coming time, Vietnam pangasius export prices expected to remain at around US$1.55/kg.
