Vietnam seafood export performance – Q3 2025: Seafood exports maintained positive momentum in Q3, rising +8.6% year-on-year (YoY) in value terms. Growth was recorded across most major markets, except the U.S. and Australia.

Outlook for Q4 2025

Looking ahead to Q4 2025, Vietnam’s seafood exports are expected to decline by 5–7% compared with Q3, equivalent to a modest year-on-year increase of +1.5% to +3%.

⚠️The slowdown will likely stem from:

Domestic supply disruptions due to storms and adverse weather;
Softening demand from major import markets;
Continued downward pressure on pangasius export prices;
Shrimp prices are potentially adjusting downward amid heightened competition from India.
