VOV.VN - After enjoying robust export growth of approximately 50% last year despite suffering the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnamese tra fish (pangasius) exports are expected to maintain positive growth of over 10% in the year ahead, according to insiders.
Ta Ha, an expert of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), says pangasius exports to the UK market during Jan. - Nov. 2020 witnessed a surge of 48% to US$60.15 million.
The UK also emerged as the sole export market to achieve positive growth over a period of nine consecutive months. Statistics indicate that roughly 90% of the UK’s total import volume and value of this item comes from Vietnam. The European country tends to import frozen tra fish directly from the Vietnamese market as opposed to intermediate markets based in the EU.
