(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In recent years, the US has consistently been Vietnam’s largest seafood export market. Over the past five years, seafood export turnover to the US has ranged from 1.5 billion USD to 2.1 billion USD anually. Despite facing strict protective policies such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties, U.S. market demand remains high, and the quality of Vietnamese seafood continues to improve, helping to maintain and expand its position in this market.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) Vietnam’s pangasius export price to the US reached 4.5 USD/kg, the highest ever. Besides the scarcity of supply during two years of Covid-19, the temporary suspension of seafood imports from Russia by the US and Europe is creating a “golden opportunity” for Vietnamese pangasius products to increase market share in these two markets.

Vietnam aims to develop its fisheries sector into a large commodity production industry with competitive capacity and responsible and sustainable integration in line with international institutions, contributing to improving incomes for industry workers.
