In the first half of 2018, the value of Vietnamese tuna exports to Japan increased by 32% compared to the same period in 2017, to almost $14 million.
VASEP says frozen tuna loins/fillets accounted for 50% of the total value of tuna exports to Japan in the first half of 2018. These type of items and other processed tuna reported an increase in shipments to Japan. On the other hand, exports of canned tuna and other live/fresh/frozen tuna declined.
