(VOV) – Vietnam’s seafood export value is forecast to achieve more than US$7.7 billion by the end of this year, according to Deputy General Secretary of Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) Nguyen Hoai Nam.
The figure accounts for 6-7% of the country’s total export value and shows a year-on-year increase of 18%.
Currently, Vietnam’s seafood industry is a world leader in aquaculture and ranking fourth in seafood exports. Vietnamese seafood has been exported to 165 countries and territories.
Nam said now that bilateral agreements between Vietnam and large export (or import) markets are going to be signed, particularly the Vietnam-EU free trade agreement, from early 2015, Vietnamese seafood exports will enjoy much preferential treatment, including tax incentives.
However, Vietnamese seafood exporters should ensure their products are of good-quality to sharpen their competitive edge to meet international standards, he noted.
