Vietnam's tuna exports to the United States have seen a significant increase, with canned tuna sales rising by 17% year-on-year to US$95 million, making the US the largest importer of Vietnamese canned tuna. Despite Thailand's dominance as the largest supplier, Vietnam has emerged as the second largest supplier to the US, with a 12% market share. The country has also experienced a 380% growth in tuna exports to Portugal, benefiting from its strategic location and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement, which boosts the competitiveness of Vietnamese exporters.
