Tuna exports surge by 55% in October
As of mid-October, Viet Nam had exported US$450 million worth of tuna, marking a year-on-year increase of 55 per cent, according to the Viet Nam Association for Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP)
"This is an encouraging sign when exports of our key seafood products are likely to slow down or even significantly decrease," VASEP said, adding that priority would be given to increasing tuna exports and turnover.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's General Department of Fisheries has decided to put tuna on the list of key seafood exports.
