January 29, 2025 | Food & Beverages

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Vietnam Aquaculture Market Report by Product Type (Freshwater Fish, Crustaceans, Mollusks, and Others), Environment (Fresh Water, Brackish Water, Marine Water), Distribution Channel (Traditional Retail, Specialized Retailers, Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Online Retailers, and Others), and Region 2025-2033”, the Vietnam aquaculture market reached a volume of 5.3 Million Tons in 2024. Aquaculture is defined as the raising, breeding and harvesting of aquatic organisms, including shellfish, fish and aquatic plants, in both inland and coastal areas. Vietnam currently represents one of the largest producers of aquaculture products worldwide. The country possesses a vast potential for aquaculture with a total water surface area of above 1.7 million hectares. Farmers in Vietnam perform wild fishing and fish farming on a large scale at the Red River Delta and the Mekong River Delta. Over the last two decades, they have been adopting the production of exportable species and making the farming activities more consumer-oriented, environment-friendly and economically viable.


Vietnam Aquaculture Market Trends:

In 2018, Vietnam adopted the plan to develop its brackish shrimp industry till 2030 with an aim to improve production, productivity and the commercial value of the products. The production volume is expected to reach nearly 1.3 million tons with a shrimp farming area of approximately 750,000 hectares. Besides, the Nha Trang University of Vietnam and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) recently opened a new Regional Centre of Excellence in Vietnam. The center serves as a hub for aquaculture and fisheries in minimally developed countries across Asia and Africa. However, due to excessive dependence on coastal resources and growing environmental concerns, nearly forty districts across eight provinces in Vietnam have started using an inter-sectional planning tool to manage fisheries better. Looking forward, the market Volume is projected to reach 7.1 Million Tons by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.15% during 2025-2033.
