VTV.vn - After two years of successfully implementing a pilot scheme in the exploitation, purchasing, processing and consuming of tuna in the provinces of Binh Dinh, Phu Yen and Khanh Hoa, Vietnam now exports tuna to a total of 140 countries.

The price of tuna starts from 4 US dollars to more than 4.4 US dollars per kilogram. The US, EU, ASEAN countries, Israel, China and Japan are Vietnam's largest buyers. Tuna exported from Vietnam is expected to earn USD 524 million (EUR 488 million) in 2017, a rise of eight percent compared with 2016, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Producers and Exporters (VASEP).
