Aquatic product exports bring home 2.4 billion USD in four months
Thursday, May 3,2018AsemconnectVietnam - Vietnam earned some 2.4 billion USD from exporting aquatic products in the first four months of 2018, representing a year-on-year rise of 13 percent.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), in April alone, the country raked in 650 million USD from the export of aquatic products.
The US, Japan, China and the Republic of Korea were the biggest importers in January-March, making up 52 percent of the Southeast Asian country’s total aquatic product exports.
The highest growth was reported in the Netherlands (55.7 percent), China (44.6 percent) and the UK (33.8 percent).
In the four-month period, Vietnam imported 536 million USD worth of aquatic products, up 27.4 percent against the same period last year. Of the figure, 130 million worth of aquatic products were imported in April.
Vietnam gained its highest ever aquatic product export value of 8.32 billion USD in 2017, a year-on-year increase of 18 percent, according to the MARD.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) said shrimp exports provided the biggest contribution to the total export value, with a growth rate of 21 percent to 3.8 billion USD in 2017.
Aquatic product exports in 2018 are expected to exceed 8.5 billion USD, up about 3 percent compared to 2017, though Vietnam's exports to the US and EU markets will continue to be affected by catfish inspection, anti-dumping and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU), according to the VASEP.
