The Vietnam Association of Seafood Producers and Exporters (VASEP) said it plans several measures to help its members further penetrate the global supply chain and enable the fisheries sector to reach its export target of US$12 billion in 2025, 40% higher than this year.

VOV.VN - Vietnam's shrimp exports are expected to record a dramatic increase of 12.4% to US$3.78 billion in comparison with other export items this year despite suffering from the adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

VOV.VN - Vietnamese tuna exports to the United States have enjoyed a sharp rebound following a period of enduring a constant decline, according to figures released by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

Removing the European Commission (EC)’s illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing “yellow card” is not easy and cannot be done overnight, but the Vietnamese business community and associations are still determined to do, not only to meet EU requirements, but also for the sake of sustainable fishery development.

Vietnam’s tuna exports to Italy soared by 8.6% last month over the same period last year.

Vietnam’s shrimp exports are forecast to reach US$3.7 billion this year, posting an year-on-year increase of 9.8%, fuelled by the EU – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) which facilitated export to the EU markets, according to Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
