Vietnam’s seafood export turnover reached US$971 million for the month of July, a 6.1% increase compared to the same month of 2024. For the first seven months of 2025, the total export value exceeded $6.2 billion, reflecting a strong growth of 17.2%, but with the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (Vasep) also highlighting that many exporters expedited shipments to the United States before August 2025 – when the new countervailing tariffs announced by the US in early July come into effect.
