The decrease was attributed to several factors such asdiseases in shrimps and high input costs as well as technical barriers,anti-dumping tax and anti-subsidy tax in export markets.
As a result, the export turnover to all three largest marketsincluding the US, Japan, and the Republic of Korea sawnotable decrease compared to the corresponding period last year. Exportto the US stood at 331 million USD, down 1.1 percent; Japan, 294million USD, down 4.9 percent; and the RoK, 118 million USD, down 20percent.
However, sales to China and Thailand surged by 41 percent and 19 percent year on year, respectively.
Despite some signs of recovery in demands, aquatic export in thecoming months is expected to continue to dive, according to the VietnamAssociation of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
Nevertheless, many exporters think shrimp export to Japan will bounceback in the coming time thanks to the country’s recent decision to endTrifluralin test on all shrimps imported from Vietnam.-VNA
