Vietnam’s fishery products exports decreased by 15.37 percent in February 2025 compared to January, totalling US$655.02 million, according to data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.

Vietnam’s total fishery products exports for 2025 reached US$1.43 billion, showing continued demand despite the month-on-month decline.
