Vietnam's seafood industry has successfully exported over $10 billion worth of seafood in 2024, as reported by the Việt Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), despite facing various challenges such as market fluctuations, logistical issues, and high costs due to global conflicts. The industry's growth was led by significant increases in the export of shrimp, tra fish, and tuna. As the industry looks towards future growth, it will need to address challenges like the 'yellow card' from the European Commission regarding illegal fishing and environmental concerns, while also expanding into new markets and adhering to food safety regulations and sustainable production practices. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has highlighted the need for strict adherence to food safety regulations and the exploration of new markets to surpass the $10 billion export target and reach $11 billion.
