VOV.VN - Vietnam’s tuna exports are unlikely to rebound in the final quarter as the industry continues to struggle with raw material shortages, tighter IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated) fishing controls and rising compliance costs, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and and Producers.

Despite having achieved a record export sales figure in February, Vietnam's tuna industry faces significant regulatory challenges from its key import markets such as the EU and the US, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

Vietnam’s tuna industry has bounced back strongly post-pandemic as export soared 72% year-on-year to US$259 million in the first quarter of 2022, the highest in five years, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
