Thai media have expressed concern that fresh Vietnamese durian will soon surpass Thai durian in the Chinese market, as Viet Nam's market share in that market has already reached nearly 50%.

In 2025, despite facing numerous challenges ranging from reciprocal taxes to the risk of unusually high anti-dumping duties on shrimp and increasingly stringent technical barriers, Viet Nam's seafood exports still achieved a spectacular finish, setting a new record with a turnover of over 11.34 billion USD.

From June 1st, China will apply quarantine regulations to fresh jackfruit from Viet Nam, requiring approved growing areas and packaging facilities, application of GAP and IPM standards, and strict pest control.

According to the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC), by November 2025, exports of fresh Norwegian salmon to Viet Nam are expected to reach approximately 7,500 tons, a 42% increase year-on-year, far exceeding the regional average growth rate of 31%

Increased new supply from North America has boosted global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in 2025 to achieve the most impressive growth in the past three years.

In the first 11 months of 2025, exports of cassava leaves, bay leaves, and bamboo leaves reached US$11.8 million, an increase of 13.6% compared to the same period last year.

Amidst fierce competition, Vietnamese shrimp and pangasius fish remain pillars of seafood exports, affirming their position through quality and enduring adaptability.

According to regulations, the tax rate will be applied at 12% in the first year, reduced to 11.5% in the second year, and further lowered to 11% in the third year.

From January 1, 2026, China will temporarily reduce import tariffs on 935 items to expand supply, promote technology, and foster green development.

U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policy and China's overproduction are having serious repercussions on global trade, with Chinese products shut out of the American market instead flooding Europe and Southeast Asia at bargain prices.
