Total seafood exports to reach 7.12 billion USD
VTV.vn - Vietnam’s total seafood export turnover in 2016 is forecasted to reach 7.12 billion USD, an increase of 6.3% compared with last year, according to the Vietnam Association for Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

The sector is expected to have great potential as Vietnam joins the ASEAN Community and signs several free trade agreements. Based on the forecast, shrimp and tuna export turnover will be 3.3 billion USD and 507 million USD, respectively. From the beginning of this year to March 15th, the figure had reached nearly 1.16 billion USD, an increase of 9.43% compared with the same period in 2015.
