Canada
is now Vietnam’s ninth largest seafood importer, according to the Vietnam
Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).
It is also a familiar market for Vietnam’s
cuttlefish and octopus products.
In 2011, Vietnam earned $913,000 from cuttlefish and
octopus export to Canada, but the figure was over $440,000 in the first quarter
of this year, a surge of 600 percent over the same period last year.
Seafood experts said that the surge will open up
more opportunities for Vietnamese cuttlefish and octopus exporters in future.
According to VASEP, Canada is a pleasant and open
market for Vietnamese seafood though its orders are smaller than those of the
US.
However, Vietnamese cuttlefish and octopus exporters
have to compete with many rivals, including China, Thailand, India and Peru. To
penetrate the Canadian market, local exporters are advised to study market demand
and improve product quality to sharpen their competitive edge.
