There are also four more firms on the waiting list, and the agency would work with the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to speed up the verification process. The US is the biggest import market for Vietnamese Tra fish with a stable demand and good prices. 

Vietnam has shipped 130 million USD worth of Tra fish to the US, up 7.6% compared to the same period last year. The export volume is expected to see a year-on-year increase of between 10% and 15% in the next quarter. That action showed that the quality of Vietnamese tra fish products exported to the US was implemented as per the commitment of local firms' towards food hygiene and safety. 

Local tra fish processors and exporters should promote further management for their production, processing and export activities to reach strict standards on food quality at export markets, including the US. 

According to VASEP, in the first four months of this year, the US was the largest export market for Vietnamese tra fish products. Total export value of Vietnamese tra fish to the US had a year-on-year increase of 7.2 percent to 115.1 million USD. 

Catfish is a popular fish in the US, with the market dominated by local producers mostly from southern states such as Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Alabama. In recent years, they have been rivalled by cheaper Asian imports.
