With exports of $2.3 billion in the first half of 2022, Vietnam’s shrimp industry is in a position to achieve its export target of $4 billion for the year as a whole. However, difficulties in shrimp farming and reduced production have resulted in shortages of materials at processing facilities.
Shrimp production, processing, export, and domestic consumption have faced many difficulties in recent times and shrimp processing facilities have had to curb their activities while shrimp purchasing has stalled. Experts and businesses recommend that localities create favorable conditions and promote shrimp purchasing until the next harvest.
