Vietnam's tuna exports to Mexico went up 61% in 2017

In September and November 2017, there was a decline in tuna exports to Mexico of 26.6% and 16.7% year-over-year respectively, according to VASEP. The export value gained positive growth during the remaining months of 2017.

Analysts at VASEP say that last year, by the end of August, Mexico's three largest tuna suppliers were China, the US and Vietnam.

Furthermore, the most popular six tuna products exported by Vietnam to the Mexican market were "canned and processed tuna (HS code 160414); frozen skipjack (HS code 030343); frozen yellowfin tuna (HS code 030342); frozen tuna fillets (HS code 030487); frozen bigeye tuna (HS code 030344) and frozen tuna (HS code 030349). Of that, imports of canned and processed tuna (HS code 160414) accounted for the largest share of 39-70% of the import value."
