For pangasius aquaculturist in Vietnam, despite rising market demand and prices, they still face rising feed costs, with a Vietnamese aquafeed company raising the price of fish feed by about VND 400 per kilogram.

Importers in China have also encountered some uncertainty, their first concern is fluctuations in exchange rates and whether the pangasius ordered will arrive on time.
