MEKSEA.COM – Three days at VIETFISH 2026 have come to an end, but the conversations, connections, and stories created during the exhibition continue to move forward. Held from August 19–21, 2026, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC). To VASEP, VIETFISH 2026 brought together 335 companies, 568 booths, representatives from 17 countries and territories, and nearly 15,000 visitors. More than a seafood exhibition, this year’s event reflected a changing industry. For Meksea, however, VIETFISH 2026 was not simply another exhibition. It was a chance to look back at where we came from, reconnect with the people who have journeyed with us, and introduce a new symbol of where we are heading.

Meksea at Vietfish 2026: Where Vietnamese Seafood Meets Heritage, Connection, and a New Journey

MEKSEA AT VIETFISH 2026: MORE THAN A BOOTH – A PLACE TO CONNECT

For many years, VIETFISH has been an important meeting point in Meksea’s journey. This year, the exhibition marked a special milestone for Meksea — 10 years of accompanying VIETFISH as a Platinum Sponsor. Over the past decade, Meksea has witnessed the exhibition grow alongside Vietnam’s seafood industry, while continuing to return each year with new products, new connections, and new opportunities.

As a long-standing Platinum Sponsor, Meksea has always viewed the exhibition as more than a place to display products. It is where customers, suppliers, partners, and friends from different markets come together — sometimes to discuss a new order, sometimes to explore a new opportunity, and sometimes simply to meet again after months apart. This spirit of connection has remained at the heart of Meksea’s presence at VIETFISH for the past decade.

Behind every product presented at the booth is a much larger network: raw material regions, processing facilities, suppliers, logistics partners, and international buyers working together to bring Vietnamese seafood to markets around the world. Today, Meksea works with more than 100 seafood factories and processing facilities across Vietnam and connects Vietnamese seafood with buyers in more than 90 international markets. Through these relationships, Meksea continues to develop a comprehensive seafood portfolio — from pangasius, shrimp and tuna to marine fish, cephalopods, shellfish, surimi, dried seafood, and value-added products.

VIETFISH 2026 was about more than celebrating a decade of partnership. This year, Meksea brought a new story to the exhibition — one that goes beyond seafood and into the heritage, craftsmanship, and waterways that are deeply rooted in Vietnam.

A NEW SYMBOL ARRIVES: MEKSEA BOAT

This year, something new stood proudly alongside Meksea’s seafood collection. Meksea Boat. At first glance, it is simply a boat. But for Meksea, it represents much more.

Vietnamese seafood has always been closely connected to rivers, waterways, coastal communities, fishing villages, and generations of people whose lives are intertwined with the water. The boat is a symbol of that connection. It represents the journey from Vietnam’s waters and producing communities to the dining tables of customers around the world. And this year, Meksea chose to bring that journey into the heart of VIETFISH.

The Meksea Boat also carries another story – One of Vietnamese craftsmanship and heritage. Crafted by Master Artisan Nguyen Van Tot, the boat continues a four-generation traditional boat-building heritage from Ba Dai Village, Dong Thap. By bringing Meksea Boat to VIETFISH 2026, Meksea wanted to create a connection between two things that may seem different at first: Vietnamese seafood and Vietnamese heritage. Both are built on generations of knowledge. Both depend on craftsmanship. And both carry stories that deserve to travel beyond Vietnam.

FROM VIETNAMESE WATERS TO THE WORLD

Meksea’s journey has always been about connection. Connecting Vietnamese producers with international buyers. Connecting diverse seafood products with different market needs. Connecting traditional strengths with modern supply solutions. And now, connecting Vietnamese seafood with the cultural stories behind it.

This broader perspective reflects how Meksea sees its role in the seafood industry. The goal is not simply to sell a product. It is to understand what each market needs, work closely with capable producers, maintain quality and traceability, and build long-term relationships that create value for everyone involved.

At VIETFISH 2026, visitors could discover a wide range of seafood products across fresh, value-added, canned, and dried categories – reflecting the diversity and capability of Vietnam’s seafood supply chain. But beyond the products, every conversation brought another opportunity to understand the market better. What are buyers looking for? Which products are gaining momentum? How are consumer preferences changing? What challenges are importers facing? And, most importantly, how can Meksea become a more effective partner in solving them?

WHERE CONNECTIONS BECOME OPPORTUNITIES

The seafood industry is changing quickly. Markets are becoming more demanding. Buyers are looking beyond price, increasingly considering quality, traceability, sustainability, convenience, and consistency. This is why meaningful conversations matter. At VIETFISH 2026, Meksea had the opportunity to meet long-term partners once again while welcoming new customers and exploring potential collaborations across different markets. These conversations are often where the next journey begins. A sample can become an order. An introduction can become a partnership. And a meeting at an exhibition can become a relationship that lasts for years. For Meksea, this is the real value of VIETFISH.

MEKSEA — CONNECTING VIETNAMESE SEAFOOD TO THE WORLD: THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

Every year, Meksea returns to VIETFISH with something new to share. In previous years, the focus was largely on products, capabilities, and the growing network behind Vietnamese seafood. In 2026, Meksea brought something more personal into the story. A boat. A boat that carries the memory of Vietnamese waterways. A boat that represents generations of craftsmanship. A boat that reminds us that behind every seafood product is a place, a community, and a human story. And perhaps that is what Meksea wants to carry forward. Not only Vietnamese seafood, but also the stories, values, and heritage that make it uniquely Vietnamese. From the waters of Vietnam to the markets of the world — the journey continues.

We sincerely thank every customer, partner, supplier, friend, and visitor who stopped by the Meksea booth at VIETFISH 2026. Thank you for the conversations, the ideas, the trust, and the opportunities to grow together. VIETFISH 2026 may have come to an end, but the connections made here are only the beginning of the next journey.

See you on the next voyage.
