In the initial months of 2024, Vietnam witnessed a remarkable 786% surge in its tuna exports to Poland, surpassing $2 million USD and comprising approximately 2% of its total tuna export revenue. Poland, ranking as Vietnam's fourth-largest EU tuna market, has consistently increased its tuna imports from Vietnam over the last four years, with a significant demand for canned tuna and frozen tuna meat/loin, where canned tuna represents 91% of these exports. Despite the booming market, Vietnamese exporters are challenged by quality assurance and the impact of the IUU yellow card regulation, which complicates the certification process for EU exports.
