Exports of tuna to Japan, one of the
country’s two main tuna importers decreased continuously. Vietnam earned
only 38 million USD from the market in the first ten months of the year
due to a shortage of tuna.
During the period, the country
saw increasing orders only from the European and Mexican markets out of
its ten largest import markets.
The situation led to a fall of 5.5 percent year on year in export earnings of the product to 450 million USD.
Last year, tuna brought home 600 million USD.-VNA
