VOV.VN - Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnamese Tra fish (pangasius) exports hit US$1.07 billion in the opening nine months of the year, up 3.2% compared to the same period from last year.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has announced the preliminary results of the 17th period of review (POR17) for the period from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020, regarding Vietnam’s tra and basa fish (pangasius) exported to the US.

Aquatic exports in the first half of August were strongly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching only US$263.8 million, down 41% compared to the second half of July and 30.1% from the same period in 2020.

Vietnam earned US$790 million from exporting aquatic products in May, lifting the total figure in the first five months of this year to nearly US$3.3 billion, a year-on-year rise of 14%.
