Vietnam shrimp export in the first half of 2014

In the first half of 2014, Vietnam shrimp export reached 1.8 billion USD. Vietnam Shrimp Export can probably get over 3.5 billion USD if the disease continues to be well controlled.

In Q2 2014, EU is the most growing market in the top 10 of the Vietnam shrimp markets. Shrimp export to EU hit over US $ 175.4 million, up 115.8 percent over the same period of 2013. Shrimp export to the US market in Q2 2014 also increased strongly, with over US $ 527.7 million, up 109.2 percent over the same period of 2013. However, Vietnam shrimp export to Japan has a significant decrease due to the testing for OTC in all Vietnamese shrimps from middle of March. The prospect for Vietnam shrimp export to this market will continue gloomy if that problem can’t be solved.
