Sharp rise in tuna exports to Israel
Vietnam enjoyed a year-on-year surge of 88% in tuna exports to Israel in October with US$2.7 million, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Producers and Exporters.
With a strong growth of 52% in the first 10 months of this year, Israel continued to be a promising market for Vietnamese canned tuna amidst a slowdown in traditional markets, commented the association.
According to the association, Vietnam’s export revenue of tuna in October rose 16% over the same period last year to US$67 million, pushing the total figure in the January-October period to nearly US$541 million, up 11% compared to the same time in 2017.
