For the pangasius sector, Vinh Hoan Corporation (Code: VHC) achieved net revenue of VND 3,278 billion, a 21% increase year-over-year. Profit after tax soared by 70% to VND 341 billion, marking the highest profit for the company in the last five quarters. The rise in pangasius sales, which grew by 33%, was driven by increased output, despite a decline in average selling prices. Additionally, revenue from rice products skyrocketed by 105% compared to the previous year. While exports to the U.S. (the key market), Europe, and other regions experienced growth, revenue from China saw a slight decline.
Nam Viet Corporation (Navico - Code: ANV) and Can Tho Seafood Import-Export Corporation (Code: CCA) also reported positive results in the third quarter, benefiting from significantly improved sales.
In the shrimp sector, Minh Phu Seafood Corporation (Code: MPC) posted a net revenue of VND 2,700 billion, up 35% year-over-year. Profit after tax reached over VND 198 billion, a notable turnaround from a loss of VND 13 billion in the same quarter last year. This substantial profit was largely attributed to significant dividends received from its subsidiaries, Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Corporation and Minh Phu Seafood Supply Chain Company Limited.
Sao Ta Food Corporation (Code: FMC) recorded a remarkable 59% increase in net revenue, reaching VND 2,845 billion, the highest quarterly revenue in the company's history. However, high operating expenses limited profit growth to just 6%, totaling nearly VND 95 billion. Sao Ta noted that rising raw material prices and soaring transportation costs negatively impacted order fulfillment. Additionally, the company set aside funds for anti-dumping and anti-subsidy taxes on U.S. sales to mitigate potential risks associated with ongoing market reviews.
In contrast, Vietnam Seafood Corporation - JSC (Code: SEA) reported a 35% decrease in after-tax profit, which fell to VND 41 billion due to declining sales revenue from goods, finished products, and services at its subsidiaries.
Cadovimex Seafood Processing and Import-Export JSC (Code: CAD) faced challenges, posting a loss after tax of over VND 7 billion. This marked a continued downturn for the company, which has reported losses since the fourth quarter of 2015. Cadovimex cited a lack of capital for production and is currently reliant on limited revenue from leasing export services and outsourcing, which is insufficient to cover operational costs.
Overall, while many seafood enterprises are experiencing growth, challenges remain for some, underscoring the varied landscape of Vietnam's seafood industry.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In the first three months of 2026, Vietnam’s exports of fish cake and surimi reached USD 63 million, down 5% compared to the same period last year. Although total export value declined slightly due to decreases in some key markets, many other destinations continued to post strong growth, opening up room for this convenience-oriented processed segment in the coming quarters.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Favorable weather conditions in the early months of 2026 have brought encouraging signs for fisheries activities in Quang Tri. Output has grown steadily, contributing to improved livelihoods for local residents.
Entering 2026, Vietnam’s seafood industry is facing a period of both high expectations and mounting pressures. Following the positive recovery in 2025, production and export activities in Q1/2026 demonstrated the strong adaptability of Vietnam’s seafood business community amid continued global trade volatility, intensifying international competition, and increasingly stringent compliance requirements in import markets.
(vasep.com.vn) In the first quarter of 2026, Vietnam’s shrimp exports reached USD 1.069 billion, up 17.5% compared to the same period in 2025. This is a positive result amid an uneven global shrimp market recovery, intensifying competition among major suppliers, and continued volatility in the international trade environment. However, this growth does not reflect a broad-based recovery across the entire sector, but rather is driven mainly by strong performance in a few markets and specific product segments—most notably lobster exports to China.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s tuna exports continued to decline in March 2026. Cumulatively, in the first three months of the year, export value reached USD 208 million, down 4% compared to the same period in 2025. The export landscape shows clear divergence across markets: while the U.S. and EU remain challenging, markets such as Russia, the Middle East, Egypt, the Philippines, and Mexico have emerged as growth bright spots.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In Quang Ngai Province, shrimp farming costs are rising sharply due to लगातार increases in feed, fuel, and input material prices, while farm-gate shrimp prices are declining. This has significantly reduced farmers’ profit margins and increased production risks.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s tilapia exports are experiencing impressive growth, reflecting expanding global demand as well as the sector’s development potential. However, behind the strong growth figures lie limitations in production capacity and supply chains, highlighting the need for sustainable development in the coming period.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s pangasius exports to the Middle East in 2025 and early 2026 have shown notable growth. However, escalating geopolitical tensions in the region have increasingly impacted export activities since March. This situation presents a challenge of balancing market expansion opportunities with rising trade risks.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The Quang Tri Department of Agriculture and Environment has instructed localities to base their stocking schedules on actual conditions in each farming area, while developing plans, allocating resources, and implementing synchronized measures for disease prevention and disaster risk management in aquaculture production.
(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In the first two months of 2026, Vietnam’s exports of fish cakes and surimi exceeded USD 45 million, up 7% compared to the same period in 2025, indicating a positive outlook for this product segment amid recovering demand in many markets.
