Vietnam raked in US$114 million from tra fish export to the signatory nations of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) as of June 15, a year-on-year increase of 10%, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
Mexico was the largest buyer as it spent US$31 million on the Vietnamese product, rising 35% against the same time last year, followed by Japan (US$18 million, up 35%), Canada (US$18 million, up 15%), and Singapore (US$16 million, up 0.2%).
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) said the trade pact has created momentum for the Vietnamese fisheries to “take off”, highlighting the implementation of the free trade agreement has facilitated enterprises’ market expansion and diversification while helping Vietnamese fishery products, including tra fish, better integrate into the global production and supply chains.
The association expected that tra fish shipment in the second half of the year will maintain its growth since prices and demands are stabilising, suggesting enterprises improve competitive edge, and study the benefits regarding tariff rates that the CPTPP have brought about to enhance export.
The export of Vietnamese tra fish (pangasius) has roared back to growth after a significant drop recorded earlier this year as countries have scaled up their imports, according to insiders.
VOV.VN - Vietnamese pangasius (Tra fish) exports to the EU between the beginning of the year and mid-April dropped by 13% to US$47 million against the same period from last year, according to data released by the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
