Hanoi: Vietnam’s tra fish exports are expected to sustain strong momentum into 2025, with projected revenues reaching approximately 2 billion USD, on par with 2024 figures, the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) has forecast. The growth outlook is driven by the global economic recovery post-pandemic and increasing international demand for affordable protein sources like tra fish, VASEP said.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the consistent demand for tra fish is attributed to its affordability and nutritional value, which has captured the interest of international markets. The sector’s growth is also supported by Vietnam’s strategic trade agreements and efforts to enhance production efficiency.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers emphasized the importance of maintaining quality standards and expanding market reach to sustain this growth trajectory. The association also highlighted the potential of emerging markets as significant contributors to the projected export figures.
As the industry gears up for this projected growth, stakeholders are focusing on sustainable practices and innovations to meet the rising global demand while preserving environmental integrity. Efforts to diversify product offerings and enhance supply chain logistics are also underway to support this growth.
