Norway ranked second among the countries providing seafood to the Vietnamese market with a dramatic increase of 66.7%. Imports from South East Asian nations also expanded to US$93.19 million against last year’s corresponding period.
Considerable growth was seen in most import markets such as Malaysia, Canada, the Republic of Korea and the US, while imports from markets like Myanmar, Denmark and Poland suffered remarkable declines.
