The first half of March saw Vietnamese pangasius exports to Canada edge up 7% to US$2.3 million against the same period last year, reported VASEP.
Between the beginning of the year and mid-March, Canada imported pangasius products worth more than US$8 million from Vietnam, representing an increase of 43% against last year’s corresponding period.
Compared to other markets within the CPTPP bloc, Canadian consumers prefer dishes from pangasius fillets, frozen catfish fillets, and frozen pangasius slices.
Along with imports from Vietnam, Canada also purchased pangasius from other markets such as China, Thailand, and Indonesia. At present, the North American country has carried out a range of stringent inspections over imported products.
To further develop the market, VASEP experts have advised processors and exporters to continue improving product quality and strictly abiding by Canada’s standards and regulations.
Moreover, local firms are required to pay close attention to building stable and long-term partnerships with distributors and retailers in Canada, allowing Vietnamese products to reach foreign consumers in the most effective manner possible.
