(seafood.vasep.com.vn) The third quarter of 2025 marked a strong rebound for Vietnam’s seafood industry, as leading companies such as Nam Viet, Vinh Hoan, Sao Ta, Minh Phu, and Cuu Long An Giang all reported surging profits. Many firms not only recovered from the previous downturn but also achieved—or even surpassed—their full-year targets within the first nine months.
Nam Viet (ANV) led the growth race with net revenue reaching VND 2 trillion, up 49% year-on-year, and post-tax profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company soaring to VND 283 billion—10 times higher than the same period last year. Over the first nine months, ANV’s profit totaled VND 747.9 billion, reflecting its effective cost control and improved production efficiency.
Vinh Hoan Corp maintained its leading position in the pangasius sector with Q3 revenue of VND 3.471 trillion, up 6%, and net profit of VND 433 billion, up 35%. Stable profit margins indicated efficient processing and export activities despite cost and exchange rate pressures.
Sao Ta (FMC) recorded net revenue of VND 2.984 trillion, up 5.3%, and gross profit of VND 418 billion, up 36%, driven by its focus on value-added products. Net profit reached VND 97.2 billion, up 22%, bringing the nine-month total to VND 207 billion, a slight increase of nearly 6%.
Bentre Aquaproduct Import And Export Joint Stock Company drew attention with Q3 revenue of VND 192.7 billion, up 27%, and post-tax profit of VND 40.2 billion, doubling from last year. For the first nine months, ABT earned VND 123.6 billion in profit—three times higher year-on-year—completing 142% of its annual plan, showcasing strong operational management.
Cuu Long Fish Joint Stock Company also reported solid growth, with Q3 revenue of VND 542 billion, up 30.5%, and net profit of VND 14 billion—four times that of 2024. Its nine-month profit reached VND 22.6 billion, doubling from the same period last year.
The most remarkable comeback was seen at Minh Phu (MPC), the “shrimp king,” which returned to profitability after losses in 2024. Although its revenue dipped slightly to VND 3.782 trillion, gross profit jumped 56% to VND 600.5 billion. Net profit reached VND 223.1 billion, a sharp reversal from the VND 93.9 billion loss a year earlier. Over the first nine months, MPC earned VND 401.7 billion in profit, fulfilling 40% of its annual target.
Overall, Q3/2025 demonstrated a robust recovery across Vietnam’s seafood industry, with improved margins, tighter cost control, and a strategic shift toward higher value-added products. However, to sustain growth in Q4, companies will need to stay agile in responding to fluctuations in raw material prices, exchange rates, and import demand in major markets.
