The nation is currently among the world's leaders in aquaculture and ranks fourth in aquatic exports. The Vietnamese aquatic products have been exported to 165 nations and territories around the world.

When bilateral agreements between Viet Nam and large markets, especially the Viet Nam-EU free trade agreement, are signed in early 2015, Vietnamese seafood exports will enjoy a range of preferential treatments, including tax incentives, said Deputy General Secretary of the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) Nguyen Hoai Nam.
