This year, the EU and US did not increase clam imports from Vietnam, and the US even reduced imports. On the contrary, China and Hong Kong have an increasing trend, up 508% over the same period.
In terms of consumption, the Asia-Pacific bivalve market is the largest. China is the largest consumer market. Besides China, Japan and India are the largest markets in Asia-Pacific. Demand for bivalve molluscs in Asia-Pacific is driven by growing populations, rising incomes and growing awareness of the health benefits of eating seafood. The European bivalve market is the second largest in the world.
This year, Ben Tre clams were recognized by the International Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) as meeting sustainable fisheries standards, and this is the third time Ben Tre clams have achieved this certification... Meanwhile, demand Demand for green label seafood products in the world is increasing, especially in the EU market.
Therefore, this will be an opportunity for Vietnam to increase exports of high-value clam products.
