Canada is currently importing mainly frozen tuna meat/loin products and canned tuna from Vietnam. Compared to the same period, exports of both product groups increased by 150% and 25% respectively.
According to statistics from the International Trade Center (ITC), Vietnam is the third largest source of tuna for Canada in 2023, after Thailand and Italy. Last year, Canada's tuna imports from major sources mostly decreased.
The reason is that in recent years, seafood consumption, including tuna, in Canada has decreased because consumers switched from seafood products to beef, chicken and other protein products when the economy encountered difficulties. towel. Consumers tend to switch to protein sources with lower prices than seafood. Besides, due to economic difficulties, Canada's tuna imports are also affected.

According to information from the Import-Export Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Canada is aiming to strengthen the implementation of many supervision policies and tighten management of imported goods to protect the domestic market. Therefore, businesses when exporting to this market will face many difficulties. Enterprises that want to promote exports must closely follow the market.
However, it is expected that Vietnam's tuna exports to Canada will have a chance to recover because the country's seafood consumption demand is forecast to increase in the next 5 years. According to Statista's forecast, Canada's seafood revenue will reach 4.79 billion USD by 2024 and will grow on average 4.90%/year.
