Vietnam’s seafood industry
Vietnam is one of the world’s largest exporters of seafood, with shrimp and pangasius among its leading products.
The industry has grown rapidly over the past two decades, supported by aquaculture expansion in the Mekong Delta and rising global demand.
Major export markets include the United States, the European Union, China and Japan, although shipments are often affected by trade remedies and sanitary standards.
Producers face ongoing challenges, including climate change impacts, stricter traceability requirements and pressure to move up the value chain through processing and branding.

EU fishing regs compliance review
A European Commission delegation will visit Vietnam on March 10 for a fifth inspection related to the yellow card warning on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing imposed since 2017.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment warned that failure to address violations could result in continued sanctions, as the European Union introduces a fully digital seafood certification system from 2026.
Record seafood sales
Vietnam seafood exports reached a record of nearly US$11.3 billion in 2025, up 12.4 percent year on year, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers.
Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers said exporters adapted by shifting sales toward Asia and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership markets as trade barriers increased in the United States.
