Vietnam Aquaculture Market Analysis

The Vietnam aquaculture industry growth is driven by the adoption of advanced fishery management tools globally. Currently, the country represents one of the leading producers of aquaculture products across the globe.

The Southern region represents the largest market for aquaculture in Vietnam, holding most of the market share. This is due to the availability of diversified culture systems, such as fence, pond, and cage culture of catfish and many indigenous species like snakehead fish, giant river prawn, and climbing perch driving the Vietnam aquaculture demand growth.

Vietnam Aquaculture Industry Outlook

According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, in 2011, the total aquaculture fish production from the Mekong River Delta was approximately 1.5 million metric tons (MT), while the Red River Delta contributed around 500,000 MT. By 2012, production in the Mekong River Delta had slightly increased to around 1.6 million MT, while the Red River Delta also saw a modest increase, reaching approximately 550,000 MT. The combined output from these two regions approached 2.2 million MT. Throughout the period from 2013 to 2016, the Mekong River Delta maintained its leadership position, with production steadily rising to approximately 1.7 million MT by 2016. The Red River Delta's output during this period remained relatively stable, hovering around 600,000 MT. The years 2017 and 2018 marked a significant phase of growth, with the Mekong River Delta’s production increasing to around 1.8 million MT in 2017 and further to nearly 2 million MT by 2018. The Red River Delta also experienced growth during this period, contributing approximately 650,000 MT in 2017 and approaching 700,000 MT in 2018. In 2019, the Mekong River Delta reached a production volume of approximately 2 million MT. The Red River Delta's production continued to rise, reaching about 700,000 MT. By 2020, preliminary figures suggest that the Mekong River Delta’s output stabilized at around 2.2 million MT, while the Red River Delta sustained its contribution of approximately 700,000 MT. This growth supports the Vietnam aquaculture market revenue, leveraging abundant natural resources and a substantial export presence, significantly benefiting the national economy.

As per the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, in 2011, the total shrimp production was around 450,000 metric tons (MT), with the Mekong River Delta contributing approximately 300,000 MT.
