Difficulties facing seafood exporters looking at Scandinavia
Vietnam’s seafood exports to Scandinavia are primarily frozen products and raw or semi-processed materials, while high-value goods are still small in number, meaning exporters cannot take full advantage of tariff incentives offered in the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EUVFTA). Moreover, the market is small and with strict regulations, so it is difficult for Vietnam’s seafood to boost turnover without developing suitable value-added products.
