The VASEP recommended that in 2026, the Government and relevant ministries and agencies strengthen the organization of annual dialogue conferences with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; actively support responses to U.S. trade remedy cases against Vietnam’s shrimp industry; and review the elimination of the shrimp export quota for exports to South Korea within the framework of the Vietnam–Korea Free Trade Agreement (VKFTA).
