More companies export aquatic products to Brazil

The number of businesses exporting aquatic products to Brazil has now increased to four, double that of 2009, said the Vietnam Association for Seafood Exporters and Producers.

In the first six months of this year, Vietnam exported to Brazil 5,800 tonnes of tra fish worth about US$12 million and 18 tonnes of other fresh and frozen fish, equivalent to roughly US$36,900.

According to tra fish exporters, Brazil is a huge potential market but does not yet attractive to Vietnamese exporters due to risks and low prices.

As Vietnamese tra fish are competing in price with Brazilian carp, Vietnam’s commercial office in Brazil recommends that domestic businesses should ensure the volume and quality of their products when exporting to the South American country.

As well as Brazil, in the first seven months of this year, Vietnam exported US$2.45 billion of aquatic products to many other markets, up about 12 percent over the same period last year, of which shrimp, tra, basa and tuna continue to hold sway.
