Brazil became the largest market for Vietnamese tilapia, with export turnover reaching USD 8 million in January 2026, accounting for 56% of the sector's total exports.

In Viet Nam's seafood export picture, shrimp continues to be the largest pillar, pangasius is showing strong recovery, while tuna remains a category of concern.

Despite mounting difficulties in its largest market, the United States, Vietnam's tuna exports still recorded solid growth in the first month of the year, driven by stronger demand from other markets.
