The volume of freshwater fish exports from Vietnam has shown moderate fluctuations over the past decade. In 2023, the export volume was 1.53 million metric tons, marking a slight year-on-year increase of 0.36%. However, substantial variances were evident in the historical data, such as the notable decline of 16.68% in 2020 followed by a significant recovery of 14.89% in 2021. Over the last five years, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) stands at 0.35%, indicating steady but minimal growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of climate change on freshwater resources and fish populations.
Changes in global demand for sustainably sourced seafood.
Developments in aquaculture technology that could boost production efficiency.
Trade policies and international relations that could affect export dynamics.
