According to deputy chairman of theVietnamese Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) DuongNgoc Minh, the new export prices are 3.75 USD a kilo for high-qualityfish and 3.56 USD for the normal breed.
Exportvolume has dropped since mid-March following the DOC decision, but arecent market survey found that most US importers are running out ofstock, so they have to bid higher in order to maintain supplies, Minhsaid.
Exports are expected to grow again next month,with prices forecast to increase up to 0.15 USD per kilo due to the USsupply shortage and rising prices in other exporting countries.-VNA
