Processing export seafood
Seafood exports to the US occupied 19.15 percent of the total last month, followed by those to Japan and the Republic of Korea with 17.81 percent and 8.36 percent respectively.
Vietnam’s January seafood exports brought 376 million USD to the country, a year-on-year increase of 3.5 percent.
This year is considered as tough for Vietnam’s seafood exports due to a shortage of capital, materials and labour.
However, experts have forecast an increase in global demand in a near future, and the sector is likely to earn 6.4 billion USD this year.
To boost seafood exports, the ministry urged the sector to continue investment in raw materials and intensify technology improvement, supervision on product quality as well as trade promotion activities abroad.
