VIET NAM - The Vietnamese Ministry of Fisheries said Thursday that catfish exports would more than double to a record US$661 million this year. |
Overall seafood exports could reach $3.2 billion, it said.
The demand for catfish has gone up sharply in more than 65 countries and territories, with the EU, Russia, ASEAN, and the US being the top importers.
