Strongly collected by a series of “superpowers” in the world, businesses are full of shrimp export orders, bringing in 2 billion USD in just 7 months of 2024.
According to the latest report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in the first 7 months of 2024, seafood export turnover is estimated at 5.29 billion USD. Compared to the same period last year, exports of this group of goods increased by 7.3%, ranking in the top 2 in terms of export turnover in the agricultural sector.
In which, shrimp exports alone earned 2 billion USD, up 7.5% over the same period last year. Shrimp export turnover continues to maintain the No. 1 position in the seafood industry.
Currently, Vietnam is in the top 3 largest shrimp exporting countries in the world, accounting for 13-14% of the total global shrimp export value. Vietnam’s shrimp has been exported to about 100 countries and territories.
