Central Vietnam is currently experiencing severe flooding and storms, affecting fishermen, farms, and causing raw material shortages. These conditions, combined with rising year-end holiday demand, are leading to higher prices and potential production delays. We encourage partners to place orders early to secure supply and ensure timely delivery.

EU faces whitefish shortage amid geopolitical tensions.
Vietnam lacks small-size pangasius for year-end orders.
Seafood Europe urges stronger import access.

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.
