Exports to the US grew by 123% year-on-year to 160 million USD since demand was high and supply was modest.
Exports to the EU fetched 2.9-3.45 USD per kilogram.
It is forecast that the demand for essential goods, including food and seafood, will increase sharply in the EU, providing a good opportunity for Vietnamese companies to export frozen pangasius, VASEP said.
