The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) forecasts a growth in pangasius exports in 2022, with the China - Hong Kong market being a potential area for growth. Pangasius exports to this market have shown positive growth since the end of 2021, despite trade barriers. However, the Zero Covid policy in China has led to increased control of imported goods, causing difficulties for pangasius exports. Vietnam's pangasius production is expected to decrease by 0.2 million tons in 2022, leading to a decrease of 4.6% in global pangasius production.
