Tuna exports to Middle East increase

Tuna exports to the Middle East market up to the middle of April reached US$9 million, a year-on-year increase of nearly 17 per cent, reported the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

VASEP said the Middle East held potential for Vietnamese tuna exporters with around 6 per cent of total exports heading to 10 Middle East countries.

Israel, Sudan and Lebanon were the biggest consumers, with a total export value of $6.4 million, 70 per cent of total exports to the region, VASEP said.
