Already more sales than in 2017

In absolute value, this three-digit growth during the first six months of this year resulted in $27 million exports of Vietnamese pangasius to the UAE. This number is significant, given the fact that this is already 17.4% more than reached during the full year of 2017.

Sales to middle east increased

Vietnamese pangasius exports to other markets in the middle east region increased as well. For instance, companies increased shipments of pangasius to Egypt during the last months.
