The seafood export industry is facing challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the government allocating an additional budget of 5.1 billion to mitigate the impact. The pandemic has led to increased containment measures and a decrease in demand for eating out, resulting in a significant drop in exports of domestic fishery products by 11.8% compared to the previous year. However, there has been a rise in exports of seafood for processing. The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is planning to boost exports of declining products and target growing demand items and export markets. It remains uncertain if the industry will surpass the record high of the previous year with the ongoing pandemic.
