Removing difficulties in exporting tuna

(Chinhphu.vn) - The Government Office has Document No. 8640/VPCP-NN conveying the direction of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on handling feedback information related to tuna export.

Removing difficulties in exporting tuna.

Vietnambiz e-newspaper has an article dated August 19, 2025 "VASEP: Tuna exports forecast to have difficulty reaching the yearly target".

The article stated that, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), Vietnam's tuna exports are slowing down as July's turnover decreased by 20% compared to the same period last year, bringing the cumulative 7-month turnover down to nearly 542 million USD, 3% lower than last year.

VASEP said that from August 7, the US began imposing new reciprocal tariffs on each country. The difference in tariffs applied to Vietnamese products compared to those of rival countries such as Thailand, Indonesia or Ecuador is reducing the competitiveness of Vietnamese products.

In addition, geopolitical and logistics instability and demand fluctuations in some key markets such as Russia, Israel, Chile, etc. are also significantly affecting exports to these markets.

Meanwhile, the regulatory bottlenecks in Vietnam’s tuna fishing, processing and export activities have yet to be resolved. Tuna businesses are facing many difficulties and challenges. Therefore, the Association predicts that this year, Vietnamese tuna will find it difficult to break through and maintain its market share.

Regarding this matter, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned the Acting Minister of Agriculture and Environment to study the information reported in the press; preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to assess the tuna export situation in 2025, and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles according to authority and regulations.
