Tag: VIetnam shrimp exports

Vietnamese shrimp continues to face fierce competition from Ecuador, India, and Indonesia, while US trade defense measures, including anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties along with administrative reviews, also pose ongoing challenges for this sector.

Amid intensifying competition, experts suggest that the most viable path for Vietnamese shrimp exporters is to increase the proportion of deep-processed products, reduce reliance on frozen raw shrimp, and maximize tariff preferences provided by the EVFTA.

Lobster became Vietnam’s #1 shrimp export to China in 2025, reaching $817 million.

In 2026, experts suggest that if businesses continue to diversify into the CPTPP, EU, and Middle East markets while prioritizing value-added products, Vietnam’s shrimp industry can still maintain growth despite a challenging global landscape.
