Tra fish export prices on the rise

The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) has decided to increase the price of tra fish exports to Europe and the US by US$0.2 per kg.

The rise in prices is mainly due to the lack of input material.

Tra fish export revenues hit a record high of nearly US$1.4 billion in2010, a lucrative contribution to the seafood sector.

In the past ten years, tra fish imports to Europe accounted for 19 percent of this market’s total volume.
