Shipments destined for the US market accounted for 22% of Vietnam's total pangasius exports. "In QII/2017, exports to the market recorded the remarkable increase from 11% to 52% over the same period in 2016, which pushed the market to the leading position," according to VASEP.
Pangasius exports to China - Hong Kong grew by 46.2% between January-July 2017 compared to the similar period from the previous year, reaching 206.1 million dollars.
