Vietnam's shrimp exports have seen a decrease for the third consecutive month as of October 2022, despite an 18% increase in the first half of the year. The exports experienced a decrease of 1% and 13% in June and July respectively, but still managed to reach $3.8 billion, a 18% increase compared to the same period last year. The types of shrimp exports have seen a variation, with whiteleg shrimp increasing by 13%, black tiger shrimp by 1.2%, and marine shrimp by 106%. However, the main markets for Vietnam's shrimp, including the US, EU, UK, and South Korea, have reduced their imports, with the US and EU seeing a sharp decrease of 51% and 35% respectively. The decline in imports is attributed to factors such as market oversupply, record inflation, and fuel crisis. Despite these challenges, exports to China saw a growth of 49%.
