Vietnam’s tra fish (Pangasius) exports are forecast to reach nearly $2.2 billion in 2025, heard a conference reviewing the sector’s performance in 2025 and outlining key tasks for 2026, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.
Brazil emerged as the most successful market for Vietnam's tra fish industry in 2025, recording year-on-year growth of 35% and accounting for 8% of Vietnam's total market share, according to Ms. To Thi Tuong Lan, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
China remained the sector’s main pillar market, although growth fell short of expectations, with a market share of around 27% and growth of approximately 2.3% year-on-year.
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) market, comprising 11 member countries, accounted for 17% of the exports, reaching $340 million, up 37%. The US accounted for 15% of the exports, down 3.3%, while the EU held a share of around 8%, a level that has remained relatively stable over the past three years.
Tra fish output in 2025 is estimated at around 1.67 million tons.
