Vietnam exports tuna to 87 markets

Vietnam has exported tuna to 87 countries and territories, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP).

Three major markets are the US, EU and Japan, accounting for 46 percent of Vietnam’s total tuna exports worth nearly US$145 million in the first 10 months of this year.

Topping the list of 21 European countries are Germany, Italy and Belgium.

Tuna exports are likely to pick up in the last month of the year. However, VASEP said, the State has urged close cooperation between fishermen and businesses to improve the quality of Vietnamese tuna products.
