According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, leading markets for Vietnamese aquatic products include the US, Japan, China and the Republic of Korea. The four markets consumed 55.5% of total products.
Strong growth was seen in China with 63.3%, the Netherlands with 35.1%, and the UK with 29.5%.
Meanwhile, the country imported US$124 million worth of aquatic products in September and US$1.04 billion in the January-September period, the ministry reported.
Due to poor supply and high demand, both tra fish and shrimp prices in the Mekong Delta region surged sharply domestically.
