In the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam’s tuna exports reached USD 705 million, down 3% year-on-year. The U.S. led with 37% share but declined 5%, while the EU rose 3% and CPTPP markets grew 9%. Strong increases were seen in Thailand (+83%) and Egypt (+146%).

Fresh/frozen tuna rose slightly, while processed and canned tuna dropped due to higher costs. Exporters are moving toward value-added, sustainable products, with 2025 exports projected at USD 930–950 million.

VN Seafood offers a wide range of popular value-added products – from seafood and vegetable spring rolls, dumplings, dim sum, and siu mai, to crispy tempura and breaded shrimp. Made with fresh ingredients and strict quality control, our products deliver great taste at competitive prices – perfect for restaurants, supermarkets, and professional kitchens.

Pangasius raw material prices continue to rise as small-size fish become increasingly scarce. Limited fingerling supply and high mortality rates have tightened the market, causing many factories to face raw material shortages. With major holidays approaching and demand growing, VN Seafood recommends buyers to consider larger sizes to secure stable supply in the coming months.

VN SEAFOOD is expanding beyond seafood into the global fruit and vegetable market. In addition to pangasius, barramundi, shrimp, and other seafood, we now supply premium tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, banana, lime, durian, avocado, and passion fruit, along with fresh vegetables like edamame, corn, okra, anise, chili, and bell pepper. With strict quality control and reliable service, VN SEAFOOD is committed to supporting international partners with diverse, high-quality products from Vietnam.

Vietnam’s tuna exports to the Middle East reached nearly USD 60 million in the first eight months of 2025, down 23.4% year-on-year, with canned tuna remaining the main product. Israel’s imports fell sharply, while Egypt, the UAE, and several emerging markets posted strong growth. In Africa, exports rose 71% to USD 20.5 million, showing rising demand. Both regions offer opportunities thanks to urbanization, income growth, and changing consumer habits. However, exporters must address strict standards, logistics challenges, and strong competition to succeed.
