According to the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the UK is in the top 10 seafood import markets of Viet Nam, accounting for 3 per cent of seafood export value.
Viet Nam’s catfish exports have been robust this year but the country’s overwhelming dependence on the increasingly competitive Chinese market remains a matter of risk.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has targeted to earn US$2 billion from catfish exports this year, accounting for 31.5 per cent of the fishery industry’s total export value.
Officials expect the value of Viet Nam''s tra catfish exports to continue
to fall this year, according to the Viet Nam Association of Seafood
Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
