VASEP attributed the surge to demand recovery in the US and the EU, which are Vietnam’s two major markets and a sharp increase in exports to potential markets.  

Seafood exports in June continued to increase by 20% over the same period last year to hit 865 million USD.

With the current growth momentum, Vietnam’s seafood export target of 8.8-9 billion USD by the end of 2021 is feasible, said VASEP.
