According to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the exportation of bivalve still increased sharply by 36.2% to reach over USD 13.2 million in August. This result has helped Vietnam’s bivalve exports reach USD 86.8 million in the first eight months of 2021, up nearly 40% over the same period last year.

In particular, clams are considered the main product in the bivalve product group. Clam exports have reached USD 62.6 million USD in eight months, accounting for 72% of the export value of bivalves. Clam exports even experienced a strong increase in August, up 75% compared to the same period in 2020, achieving USD 11.5 million.

VASEP stated that Vietnam's bivalve exports in the first eight months of this year remained in constant increase in comparison to the same period last year, with the increase rate of the following month being higher than the previous month.

The increase in bivalve’s total export value in August in particular and the first eight months of 2021 in general has helped curb the decline in the total seafood export value and maintain the upward momentum of the total seafood exports during this period of the year.

Apart from the clam products (white clams, brown clams, silk clams), other bivalves in the export structure include snails, scallops, scallops, oysters, abalone, chem chep, mussels, green-lipped mussels.

Snail exports accounted for 11% of the total bivalve exports, valued at USD 9.5 million and scallops accounted for 8.6%, valued at USD 7.4 million.
