Through August, whiteleg shrimp exports of the country rose by 71 per cent compared to the same time last year while exports of black tiger shrimp increased 2.7 per cent. So far this year, shrimp exports made up a large proportion of 41.6 per cent among Vietnam’s total seafood export value thanks to higher global price and shorter shrimp supply. In Jan-Aug of 2013, the increase in shrimp exports compensated for the decrease in other seafood exports including pangasius down 1.6 per cent; tuna (-4.6 per cent), cephalopods (-18.2 per cent) and contributed to push the total seafood exports to reach US$4.16 billion (+4.3 per cent) - See more at: thefishsite/fishnews/21331/viet-nam-shrimp-exports-rose-almost-200-per-cent-in-august#sthash.thYN8dMw.dpuf
