Vietnam’s shrimp exports to the RoK maintains strong growth

The RoK is currently the fifth largest market of Vietnamese shrimp after the EU, Japan, China and the US.

In 2007-2016, Vietnam’s shrimp exports to the RoK enjoyed strong growth, with the country a stable market where shrimp are sold at a high price.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development views the RoK as a promising market with opportunities for domestic shrimp exporters amidst difficulties in traditional markets such as the US and the EU.
