(VOVworld) – The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) says the Middle East is an important market for Vietnam’s tuna products. Vietnam’s tuna exports to this region totaled nearly 9 million USD in the last three months, up 16.6 percent compared to the same period last year. Israel, Sudan, and Lebanon are the three biggest importers, accounting for 70 percent of the total. According to the Association, Vietnam’s tuna exports are likely to increase in response to the growing number of orders from the region.  VASEP urges Vietnamese businesses to improve the quality of their products to get an advantage over their competitors.
