MEKSEA.COM – In the first 6 months of 2022, Vietnam exported pangasius to 136 markets, earning $1.4 billion in value, up nearly 77% over the same period in 2021.
China and the US are two main markets, accounting for 55% of Vietnam’s pangasius exports. China accounted for 30% with nearly 428 million USD, up almost 79% over the same period. The US accounted for 25% with 356 million USD, more than 2 times higher than in the first half of 2021.
The sharp increase in the average export price is the main factor that helps the export value of pangasius to the markets increase.
