Other markets with impressive growth include the European Union (EU), which increased by 71%, and Australia, which saw a 58% rise.
According to industry insiders, crab and crayfish products often face instability in pricing and supply, hindering their sustainable development.
In the first half of 2021, exports of crab and crayfish stood at $70 million, surging to around $100 million in the same period in 2022, only to plummet back to 2021 levels in 2023.
Notably, crayfish supplies have been consistently scarce in recent years, particularly larger specimens, due to the indiscriminate harvesting of smaller individuals.
Crab, crayfish, and other crustaceans fall under niche product categories, accounting for less than 4% of Vietnam’s seafood export value. Nonetheless, they contribute to the diversification and richness of Vietnam’s seafood offerings.
