VOV.VN - Italy is the biggest importer of Vietnam tuna in the EU, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

Tuna exports to the market hit nearly US$13 million in the first half of this year, up 99% against the corresponding period last year.

Currently, Vietnam exports various fresh and frozen tuna products to Italy while exports of Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia decline.

VSAEP reported that Vietnam tuna products get dolphin-safe certificates, which makes exports to the EU more favourable than other countries.

VASEP forecast that tuna exports to Italy will continue to rise in the coming time.
