VNEconomyNews.com - Vietnam’s tuna exports to the Middle East reached nearly US$9 million in three months until mid-April, up 16.6 percent compared to the same period last year.

Israel, Sudan and Lebanon are the three biggest importers with a total volume worth US$6.4 million.

According to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), Vietnam’s tuna exports are likely to pick up to meet the growing orders from the region.  

The VASEP suggested Vietnamese businesses should increase the quality of products to get the upper hand over other competitors.
