Tridge summary

Vietnam's tuna exports experienced a slowdown in October 2022, with a 4% increase over the same period in 2021, totaling over $76 million and marking the second lowest value since the beginning of the year. Despite this, the accumulated export turnover for the first 10 months of 2022 reached over $884 million, a 49% increase from the same period in 2021. However, market conditions are no longer as positive due to inflation reducing purchasing power. The US market saw a nearly 6% decrease in tuna exports in October, while the EU market reached the highest level since the beginning of 2022, with the European Central Bank's tough signals on monetary policy helping increase the purchasing power of the European tuna industry. However, exports to other markets like Mexico, the Philippines, Chile, and Egypt decreased in October compared to the same period last year.
