Shrimp exports to China earn US$64.8 million in two months
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) said shrimp exports to China reached US$64.8 million in the first two months of this year, accounting for 17% of the total shrimp export value.
The figure represents a year-on-year increase of 36.5%.
China’s demand for shrimp imports rose due to the country’s supply shortage.
