Vietnam was estimated to have earned USD 1.03 billion worth of shrimp export in the first half of this year, up 1.5 percent year-on-year, the Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) said.
However, the shrimp exports into the U.S. is seen to hardly increase in the second half of this year due to recent preliminary decision on anti-subsidy duties on frozen shrimp imported from seven countries, including Vietnam of the US Department of Commerce’s (DOC), VASEP added.
The final decision would be issued in mid-August, according to VASEP.
