Vietnam's seafood export sector experienced a mixed performance in the first half of 2024, with notable growth in tuna exports and challenges in shrimp and pangasius exports due to global competition and logistical issues, but overall prospects remain cautiously optimistic for the remainder of the year.
Vietnam recently implemented regulations specifying the minimum size for catching Skipjack tuna and Sardine. Fishermen are now only permitted to catch Skipjack tuna measuring at least 0.5 meters (approximately 5 kg) and Sardine with lengths higher than 110 mm. These regulations aim to protect depleted marine resources.
