(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In the last week of April 2022, 28 seafood enterprises, including 9 pangasius exporters set out to attend the 2022 Seafood Expo Global in Barcelona (Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Spain). This is an opportunity for pangasius enterprises to directly meet customers from countries around the world and the EU after more than 3 years of Covid-19 disrupting the seafood trade.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Over the past 2 months, the Covid epidemic broke out strongly and the export distancing requirements reduced seafood exports to many large and small markets. However, Spain is one of the few markets that still maintains the growth of Vietnam's seafood imports during this difficult period with an increase of 48% in August and continued to increase by 6.3% in September 2021, reaching 7.2 million USD.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Although Vietnam's seafood exports to the EU in August 2021 decreased by nearly 31%, there are still some important markets that maintain positive growth this month such as Spain and Portugal with the main contribution of clam exports.
