HCMC – Foreign consumers, especially those having a busy lifestyle, are increasingly interested in Vietnam’s deeply processed aquatic products due to their convenience, experts say.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP)’s analysis indicated that Vietnam holds a significant advantage in the deep processing of aquatic products. At international seafood exhibitions in the U.S. and the European Union (EU) this year, processed products with added value attracted special attention from customers.
These products, tailored for busy consumers, not only meet consumer needs thanks to their convenience but also bring better profit to businesses.
During a meeting on the seafood industry held on June 10, many agreed that the competitiveness of Vietnam’s food processing stems from its advanced technology and highly skilled workforce. The use of advanced technology in production ensures the preservation of seafood products’ taste while increasing the productivity and quality of high-end products.
VASEP also highlighted that seafood exports are forecast to recover from the third quarter of this year. However, businesses must focus on diversifying markets and products and enhancing promotion efforts.
VASEP’s figures show that as of May this year, the country’s export revenue reached nearly US$3.6 billion, a 6% increase against the same period of the previous year.
