US imported more pangasius from Vietnam

So far, the export value of pangasius to the US market has kept the positive growth compared to the same period last year.

Currently, Vietnam and China stayed as the only two exporters of pangasius to the U.S market. In particular, the import proportion from Vietnam accounts for 90% of total pangasius imports into the U.S.

Recently, Vietnam’s pangasius exports to the U.S market went up due to an increase in domestic raw material prices. However, anti-dumping tariffs and the catfish inspection program are still considered as the two major difficulties for pangasius companies, said VASEP.
