Hanoi: Vietnam's fisheries industry is projected to achieve robust growth in 2025, with exports potentially reaching 11 billion USD, following 2024's performance of roughly 10 billion USD. Insiders said, reaching this ambitious target requires efforts to overcome challenges, while capitalizing on emerging opportunities. According to Vietnam News Agency, the sector has to face the impact of climate change, and intensifying competition from major seafood-producing nations. Besides, rising costs of feed, fuel, and transportation could potentially reduce the competitiveness of Vietnamese seafood products in international markets.
