After decreasing in previous months, Vietnam’s shrimp exports to the EU started to grow well in the third quarter of 2020 thanks to the positive impact from the EVFTA Agreement, which took effect from the beginning of August this year. After the first 9 months, shrimp exports to this market reached over $ 371 million, up 2.3%.

The EU is a market with good profit margins and this will be a market that many enterprises focus on exporting in the last months of the year. Vietnam shrimp exports to the EU from now to the end of the year are expected to continue to increase.
