Basa catfish export value to surpass 1 billion USD

The increase in the world market's demand for catfish has resulted in a marked increase in the prices of the product. In the domestic market, one kilo of the catfish is sold for 15,500-16,000 VND, the highest price so far. It is expected that the market will continue to change in farmers' favour.

Last year, Viet Nam has exported tra and basa catfish to 65 countries and territories, fetching a record of 700 million USD.
