Vietnam’s shrimp exports to China surge 30 percent in first half
The association forecast further growth in shrimp export to China, a key market for many Vietnamese shrimp exporters, this year.
According to VASEP, the market holds numerous opportunities for Vietnamese seafood businesses, as it has a large population and big demand.
In addition, China imports
shrimps for not only domestic consumption but also export to other countries.
However, VASEP noted some difficulties facing
Vietnamese exporters as China requires processing plants to have Chinese–granted
codes and be included in a list of exporters approved by China in order to
export their products to the market.
At the same time, the Chinese
market has continuously raised requirements for product quality over recent
years.
The VASEP suggested Vietnamese enterprises focus
on improving the quality of products to make inroads in the market.
China is now the fourth biggest importer of Vietnam’s aquatic products, after the US, EU and Japan.-VNA
