In April alone, the country’s aquatic product exports reached 770 million USD, a year-on-year rise of 4%. Exports of tuna, tra fish, crab, and shell mollusks all recorded positive growth compared to the same period last year.

Notably, tuna exports in April surged by 28% to 86 million USD, lifting the total export value of the product in the last four months to over 300 million USD. Shrimp exports earned 285 million USD – the highest value since early this year.

Meanwhile, the number of tra fish orders from the US market has bounced back after Vietnamese tra fish businesses participated in the Seafood Expo North America in March, and the Seafood Expo Global in Spain in late April.

However, the export value of squid and octopus, and mollusks with shells decreased by 4% and 2%, respectively, in the January – April period./.
