Talking to the Vietnam News Agency, Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations (UN), stressed the bright outlook for the export of Vietnamese seafood and aquatic products to the US in general and North America in particular.
The participation of Vietnamese enterprises in North America’s largest seafood expo shows that Vietnamese products have gained a firm foothold in such a choosy market like North America.
The US is the leading importer of Vietnamese seafood and aquatic products. Last year, the export turnover to this market reached 2.1 billion USD, accounting for 20% of the total value of the country’s seafood and aquatic product exports.
