According to several raw shrimp traders and seafood processing and export enterprises in the province, immediately after the United States announced a 90-day suspension of countervailing duties, reducing the tariff from 46% to 10%, raw shrimp prices in the market have begun to stabilize and slightly rebound, with increases ranging from VND 5,000 to VND 10,000 per kilogram depending on segment and size. This is a positive signal, providing shrimp farmers with renewed motivation to prepare for the upcoming production season.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Recently, the price of Pangasius in the Mekong Delta has increased significantly, making fishermen very excited. However, looking at the overall picture of this industry, the rise in Pangasius prices is not just an opportunity, but also comes with many challenges.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) According to a report by the General Statistics Office, the estimated pangasius output for January 2025 reached 102.5 thousand tons, representing a 6.0% increase compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year. This surge is attributed to the rise in pangasius material prices within the Mekong Delta, which has incentivized aquaculture farmers to expand their stocking activities. Concurrently, this price increase has facilitated processing enterprises to intensify procurement efforts to meet export demands during the early part of the year.
