Nevertheless, as compared to October 2021, Vinh Hoan’s exports to the US decreased by 12% in November while sales to other countries increased by 49-68%.
According to forecasts, Vietnam’s pangasius exports will increase in 2022 due to the scarcity of raw material, high feed cost, and the fact that factories have not fully recovered. The social distancing scheme made localities reduce their farming areas from 30% to 55% in July, August, and September as compared to the same period last year.
As for the pangasius market in the next year, Vasep said that a positive sign was recorded in sales of pangasius to Latin America, notably Mexico and Brazil. As of the first half of October 2021, the total export value to Brazil increased by 1.5 times as compared to the same period last year, reaching USD 47.44 million. Brazil’s demand for food is forecasted to sharply increase in the run up to the year-end and in 2022. Vietnam has been the largest supplier of pangasius to Brazil.
