Vietnam’s seafood export situation during the first seven months of the year. Pangasius exports to the U.S. declined by 8% due to cautious demand and higher anti-dumping duties under POR21, prompting exporters to diversify their markets and shift from volume-based competition toward higher-value products. Shrimp exports reached nearly USD 2.8 billion, up 13.5%, with strong growth in China, while exports to the U.S. declined by 11.4%. Japan remained stable, and Australia recorded notable growth. Tuna exports to the EU fell by nearly 17%, while clam exports increased by 17% to nearly USD 83 million, driven by strong demand from Spain, Italy, and the U.S. Overall, the report highlights that opportunities remain positive, but Vietnamese seafood exporters need to diversify their markets, increase product value, expand processing, and better manage trade-related risks.
