The economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic is also one of the major causes affecting the import and export activities of pangasius in many major markets around the world. As of the first half of June 2020, Vietnam's pangasius export value plunged by 29.8% over the same period in 2019, reaching US$ 612.3 million. After the positive growth in the previous 2-3 months, until May 2020, the export value of pangasius to China - Hong Kong and the US fell. In May 2020, export value to China - Hong Kong decreased by 11.3%; export to the US plummeted by 51.2%. Exports to ASEAN and the EU also dropped sharply, respectively 57.6% and 36.2% over the same period in 2019.

Vietnam saw a decline in exports in most markets in the first six months of 2020. The US, Japan, EU, China, and Korea continue to be traditional markets of Vietnamese seafood.

Vietnam brought in $3.6 billion from exporting seafood, down 7.4% from the same period last year, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs. 

A 7.3% increase in sales of Vietnamese pangasius was recorded in England in the first half of 2020 despite COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Việt Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the first half of 2020 saw a 15.2 % increase
