Vietnam’s seafood exports in early 2026 continue to show mixed but generally positive signals. Pangasius exports remain heavily concentrated in key markets such as China, the US, and Brazil, with China leading growth but creating strong price pressure, while markets like CPTPP and Brazil emerge as promising alternatives. However, exports are still dominated by low value-added products, highlighting the need for restructuring. The shrimp sector faces price pressure in Asia despite strong import demand from China and stable opportunities in markets like the UK and Australia. Meanwhile, tuna exports to Japan show positive momentum despite monthly fluctuations, and crab exports recorded strong growth, driven mainly by China. Overall, the industry is moving toward sustainability, higher quality standards, and market diversification amid global trade uncertainties.
