Market
Fresh scallops in Vietnam sit within a rapidly expanding mollusk export segment, with Vietnam increasingly acting as a processing and transshipment hub for scallop flows linked to Japan. VASEP reports scallop export value of nearly USD 66 million in 2025 (up from USD 44 million in 2024) and USD 18.1 million in the first two months of 2026, with Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong among key markets. Alongside processing and re-export, Vietnam also has nearshore wild-harvest scallop fisheries such as the noble scallop (Chlamys nobilis) fishery reported off Binh Thuan Province. Market access for fresh/live scallops is tightly linked to Vietnam’s bivalve mollusk food-safety monitoring and harvest-area control requirements, including management of biotoxins and microbiological contamination risks.
Market RoleSeafood processing and re-export hub with a growing scallop export segment; mixed domestic wild harvest and imported raw material for processing
Domestic RoleFresh/live scallops are consumed domestically (notably foodservice and seafood retail), while a significant share of scallop activity is tied to processing for export and re-export
Market GrowthGrowing (2024–2026 export trend)rapid export expansion alongside processing and re-export integration
Specification
Primary VarietyNoble scallop (Chlamys nobilis)
Physical Attributes
- Fresh/live scallops sold domestically depend on intact shells and sanitary post-harvest handling through harvesting, purchasing, cleaning/rearing, and processing facilities covered by Vietnam’s bivalve mollusk monitoring program.
Compositional Metrics
- Harvest-area classification for bivalve mollusks is based on E. coli monitoring results (indicator of fecal contamination), which affects eligibility for fresh consumption.
Grades
- Harvest-area classification (bivalve mollusk classes based on monitoring results) drives whether product can be used as fresh food or requires rearing/processing before marketing.
Supply Chain
Value Chain
- Nearshore harvest (including diver hand-gathering where applicable) → landing/collection → purchasing/handling → cleaning or rearing/relaying in defined areas → chilled domestic distribution and foodservice OR processing (e.g., shelling, freezing, packaging) → export/re-export
Temperature
- Cold-chain discipline and sanitary handling are critical for fresh/live scallops; Vietnam’s bivalve mollusk framework includes cleaning facilities that keep live bivalves in clean saltwater containers to reduce contamination risk prior to market or processing.
Shelf Life
- Fresh scallops are highly time-sensitive; Vietnam’s export momentum is also supported by processed formats (e.g., IQF/value-added scallops) that reduce shelf-life and transit constraints.
Freight IntensityLow
Transport ModeMultimodal
Risks
Food Safety HighBivalve mollusks (including scallops under Pectinidae) are regulated through Vietnam’s monitoring and harvest-area control framework; microbiological/biotoxin issues or non-compliant sourcing (e.g., scallops harvested outside classified areas without required controls) can prevent product from being marketed as fresh food and can trigger warnings/restrictions.Source from monitored/classified areas where possible; maintain full harvest-area and handling records; apply cleaning/relaying/processing controls and testing aligned with Vietnam’s bivalve mollusk monitoring requirements before marketing fresh product.
Regulatory Compliance HighVietnam has been under an EU IUU ‘yellow card’ warning since October 23, 2017, increasing scrutiny and escalating reputational and compliance risk for wild-caught seafood exports; inadequate catch documentation/traceability can lead to detentions, rejections, and potential trade measures if escalation occurs.Implement strict chain-of-custody and catch documentation for wild inputs; purchase only from legal vessels/sources; align export documentation with EU IUU catch certification expectations and strengthen internal traceability audits.
Documentation Gap MediumScallops imported for processing and re-export may fall under specific quarantine rules and exemptions (including changes introduced by Circular 06/2022 amending aquatic quarantine appendices); mis-declaration of intended use or missing health documentation can cause customs/quarantine delays and disrupt processing schedules.Pre-validate import pathway (processing trade vs domestic release) with brokers and competent authorities; ensure complete health certificate and quarantine dossier consistency with shipment form and declared purpose.
Logistics MediumFresh/live scallops are highly perishable and cold-chain dependent; clearance delays, temperature abuse, or sanitation lapses can rapidly degrade quality or cause mortality, increasing rejection and food-safety risk in domestic and export channels.Use validated cold-chain SOPs, rapid handling and clearance planning, and contingency routing; apply strict hygiene controls from landing through cleaning/processing to distribution.
Sustainability
- IUU risk management and catch documentation for wild-caught scallop supply chains (notably relevant under EU IUU controls and Vietnam’s ongoing IUU reform process)
- Coastal water quality and pollution control in bivalve harvest areas (bivalves are filter feeders and monitoring programs address contamination and biotoxin risks)
Labor & Social
- Child labor risk due diligence in fishing and fish processing supply chains in Vietnam (risk flagged in U.S. Department of Labor ILAB goods list for Vietnam: fish)
- Forced labour and human trafficking risks are widely documented in the global fisheries sector; buyers often require enhanced labor due diligence for capture-fisheries linked supply chains
FAQ
What determines whether scallops can be sold as fresh food in Vietnam?Vietnam’s bivalve mollusk monitoring program links fresh-market eligibility to harvest-area controls and monitoring results for contamination risks, including microbiological hazards and biological toxins. The framework also sets specific controls for scallops harvested outside classified areas, which can require additional processing and verification before the product can be marketed for consumption as fresh food.
Why is Vietnam increasingly described as a scallop processing and transshipment hub?VASEP reports that Vietnam’s scallop exports have grown quickly and that trade flows are restructuring, with Vietnam becoming more integrated into processing and re-export activity, particularly for scallop raw materials linked to Japan. VASEP cites strong growth in export value from 2024 to 2025 and continued acceleration in early 2026, alongside diversification across markets such as Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong.
Is there domestic scallop harvesting in Vietnam, and where is it reported?Yes. A FishSource profile by the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership describes a noble scallop (Chlamys nobilis) fishery in Vietnamese waters, harvested by divers off the coast of Binh Thuan Province.
