Vietnam’s Pangasius Exports Surge Impressively – Accelerating Rapidly in CPTPP Markets

18/11/2025 18:05

Vietnam’s pangasius industry is entering a remarkable growth phase, with impressive export momentum across major CPTPP markets. In a year where global trade faces many uncertainties, pangasius has emerged as one of the brightest recovery signals for Vietnam’s seafood sector.

Strong Export Growth Driven by CPTPP and Quality Upgrades

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam’s pangasius exports to CPTPP countries reached USD 305 million in the first 10 months of 2025, marking a 36% increase year-on-year.

This impressive performance is fueled by three key factors:

1.Preferential tariffs and market expansion enabled by CPTPP
CPTPP continues to serve as a strong catalyst, with many tariffs reduced significantly or eliminated entirely. This strengthens Vietnam’s competitiveness compared to regional suppliers.

2.Vietnamese producers investing heavily in quality and traceability

Exporters are accelerating improvements in:

• Raw material control
• Traceability and sustainability systems
• Value-added product development
• Compliance with stringent food safety and environmental standards

These advancements help elevate the reputation of Vietnamese pangasius in high-standard markets like Canada and Japan.

3. A more professional and stable logistics chain
Logistics—especially cold chain management, ocean freight, and compliance-driven documentation—has become a decisive advantage.
Ensuring product freshness and quality throughout transport has positioned Vietnam’s pangasius more strongly in CPTPP supply chains.
Expanding Opportunities Ahead

Building on this momentum, Vietnam’s pangasius industry is expected to continue:

• Growing market share in key CPTPP destinations such as Canada, Mexico, and Japan
• Increasing exports of value-added and premium processed products
• Optimizing export costs thanks to improved logistics and ocean freight stability

In particular, rising consumer demand for whitefish products in Canada and Mexico opens significant opportunities for Vietnamese exporters.
