Vietnam's cephalopod exports to China, mainly squid, saw a decrease of 34% in April 2021, despite a recovery in China's demand for these products due to easing COVID-19 measures. Squid products make up 90% of the total exports, while octopus accounts for 10%. However, the demand for dried or baked squid in China has surged, with imports increasing by over 300% compared to 2020.
