(vasep.com.vn) Vietnam's pangasius exports are showing positive signs of recovery in 2026. In the first four months of the year, the total export value reached US$720 million, a 17% increase compared to the same period last year. This result shows that demand in many markets is gradually improving, and also reflects the efforts of Vietnamese pangasius businesses to maintain production, secure orders, and adapt to market changes.
However, for the recovery to translate into sustainable growth, the pangasius industry still needs to continue strengthening key foundations throughout the entire chain, from broodstock quality and stable raw material supply areas to environmental risk control, improved processing efficiency, and utilization of by-products. This is not only an immediate requirement but also a condition for Vietnamese pangasius to enhance its competitiveness in a market that increasingly demands higher quality, traceability, and added value.
