Vietnam’s processed seafood has won more recognition from many Asian countries, especially Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Cambodia.
According to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), by mid-July, Vietnam had exported around 22,000 tonnes of processed seafood worth over US$99 million to 53 markets throughout the world.
Japan was the largest importer of Vietnamese processed molluscs with 2,800 tonnes, valued at more than US$17 million. In total, it imported over 5,000 tonnes of Vietnamese seafood worth around US$29 million.
The RoK also increased its seafood imports from Vietnam to meet its increasing demand. By July 15, the country had bought over 2,600 tonnes of processed fish for US$13.8 million.
In the reviewed period, Cambodia, a country with a high demand for canned fish products from Vietnam, imported over 1,400 tonnes of processed seafood worth US$2.4 million.
In the past seven months, Vietnam’s seafood export turnover reached US$2.45 billion, a year-on-year increase of nearly 12 percent.
The EU remained Vietnam’s largest importer with US$512 million, followed by Japan with over US$373 million.
