According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Sac, Vietnam is currently ranked among the countries with high competitiveness in the seafood industry, ranking 3rd in the world in seafood exports, accounting for more than 7% of the world market share, just behind China and Norway. In the context of increasingly deep global economic integration, Vietnam's trade in general and the seafood industry in particular have more favorable opportunities to boost production and export growth.

With the theme “Seafood exports for Vietnamese people”, Vietfish 2024 not only focuses on the international market but also brings export products closer to domestic consumers, contributing to the rapid development of the Vietnamese food and beverage industry.

Vietfish 2024 Exhibition takes place from August 21-23 at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center.
