ASMI invites seafood industry to Vietnam event

The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute is inviting those engaged in the state’s seafood industry to participate in a trade mission to Vietnam from Feb. 25 through March 4, 2023.

Vietnam was the second largest market for Alaska Seafood exports in Southeast Asia in fiscal year 2020, with shipments there accounting for 18% of Alaska exports to that region on a volume basis.

ASMI notes that Vietnam is attracting greater investment in seafood processing and reexport from Alaska due to rising labor and operating costs in China and Thailand.

ASMI officials said they are looking forward to hosting a productive mission to the Vietnamese cities of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang and Ca Mong. Cost of participation in the mission is $1,800, including economy airfare, lodging and transportation. Contact Nicole Alba at nalba@alaskaseafood.org for more information or to register. Limited spots are available
