Continuously since the beginning of the year, Vietnam’s tuna export value to Australia remains at a high growth rate. Tuna products exported to Australia’s market all showed a strong increase in comparison with the same session. Tuna products mainly for export to Australia’s market include canned or bagged oiled tuna, frozen tuna meat/filets, frozen tuna cuts…

There are currently 19 Vietnamese businesses participating in tuna export to Australia. The largest among them are Ha Long - Da Nang Canned Food One Member Limited Liability Company, Hai Long Nha Trang Seafood Co., Ltd, and Ba Hai Joint Stock Company.

According to the International Trade Centre, over the first 9 months of 2021, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines are the top four largest tuna suppliers for Australia’s market.

Thailand and Indonesia with market shares of 73% and 23% respectively are holding the first and second positions. Vietnam is currently the third-largest supplier, accounting for 1,6% of the total import value of Australia.

In the first nine months of 2021, tuna imports of Australia from Vietnam were up 209%, while imports from Thailand were down 15% and Indonesia up 28%.

In comparison with Thailand and Indonesia, the prices of Vietnam’s tuna products are lower at the moment. This is a clear sign showing that businesses around the world are trying to expand their shares in this market.
