Specifically, 20 head-sized white shrimp prices are VND 200,000-220,000 per kilogram, increasing by VND 3,000.

25 head-sized white shrimp prices are VND 157,000-162,000 per kilogram, increasing by VND 2,000.

Currently, the world's two leading shrimp exporting countries, India and Thailand, are being adversely affected by the Covid-19 epidemic. The loss of control over the disease spread has caused these two countries' supply and ability to export shrimp, so Vietnam's shrimp exports will have a more competitive advantage. If the Covid-19 epidemic is well controlled, Vietnam's shrimp export opportunities will increase sharply in the future.

In Dong Thap, An Giang, Can Tho and Hau Giang provinces, pangasius prices today, August 22, are VND 21,000-22,000 per kilogram, unchanged compared to yesterday.

Prices for 30-35 head-sized pangasius breeds are VND 25,000-30,000 per kilogram, increasing by VND 7,000-10,000 compared to last month.

However, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the pangasius breed prices must be VND 40,000-50,000 per kilogram, so pangasius breed producers are profitable.

According to VASEP, the pangasius import demand from the US, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, Colombia, Russia, and UAE has increased positively. However, the Covid-19 epidemic has spread from Ho Chi Minh City to the western provinces in the past time, causing export processing enterprises to be seriously affected.

Therefore, the export market will only recover when pangasius processing enterprises restore production and increase capacity as normal. At that time, the raw pangasius prices may increase.

Snakehead prices
