If the Covid-19 epidemic is well controlled, Vietnam's shrimp export opportunities will increase sharply in the future.

Pangasius prices

In Dong Thap, An Giang, Can Tho and Hau Giang provinces, pangasius prices today, August 25, are VND 21,000-22,000 per kilogram, unchanged compared to yesterday.

According to VASEP, the pangasius import demand from the US, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, Colombia, Russia, and UAE has increased positively.
