The European Union (EU) has fallen to the fourth largest market for pangasius exports from Vietnam, due to a decrease in export value to the bloc. The Netherlands is the largest pangasius market within the EU. The covid-19 pandemic and a delay in the largest pangasius export market, China, have led to a decrease in material prices. In the first five months of the year, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Belgium were the largest pangasius export markets for Vietnamese enterprises. However, the COVID-19 epidemic continues to negatively impact the EU economy, which is expected to decline by 7.75% in 2020, potentially further affecting pangasius exports to the EU.
