Vietnam Fishmeal Industry Overview
Vietnam's fishmeal industry is an important component of the country's aquaculture and livestock feed supply chains. Market development is closely connected to domestic fishery resources, aquaculture production, and demand from industrial feed manufacturers.
Continued expansion in shrimp and Basa catfish farming has sustained demand for high-protein, high-quality feed ingredients. Aquaculture feed represents the largest area of fishmeal consumption in Vietnam, followed by livestock and poultry feed. As producers move from traditional farming methods toward large-scale, intensive operations, demand for nutritionally advanced industrial feed is expected to increase.
Domestic fishmeal production relies largely on coastal fishery resources and by-products from seafood and aquaculture processing. Producers are therefore concentrated primarily in Vietnam's central and southern coastal regions. However, limits on marine fishery resources, production capacity, and increasingly stringent environmental requirements have constrained local supply. As a result, imports remain essential for meeting demand from feed manufacturers, particularly for higher-quality products.
Vietnam Fishmeal Import Market
Vietnam's fishmeal import market has expanded rapidly alongside the growth of aquaculture and industrial feed production. Approximately 56 Vietnamese buyers imported fishmeal in 2024, with total imports valued at US$ 105 million. In 2025, import value reached US$ 192 million, representing an increase of 81.9% year-on-year.
India, Oman and Thailand were Vietnam's three largest fishmeal supply sources in 2025. They accounted for approximately 38.5%, 14.6% and 10.3% of total imports, respectively. These figures highlight both Vietnam's dependence on international suppliers and the opportunities available to exporters capable of delivering competitive pricing, consistent quality, and reliable volumes.
With aquaculture operations continuing to scale and industrial feed output rising, Vietnam's fishmeal import demand is forecast to maintain steady growth. The market outlook creates opportunities for established suppliers as well as international trading companies seeking to diversify their presence in Southeast Asia.
Foreign Investment Opportunities
Vietnam's reliance on imported feed ingredients presents opportunities for foreign-invested enterprises with access to fishing resources, fishmeal processing technology, logistics networks, or international trade channels. Potential market entry options include investment in fishmeal processing, import and distribution businesses, and integrated supply chain operations.
- Vietnam offers political stability, consistent economic development policies, and a growing domestic market. Labor costs remain relatively competitive for processing and supply chain operations. The country's location on the eastern side of the Indochina Peninsula, combined with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, supports regional trade and efficient transportation. Foreign investors can access legal protections and relevant investment incentives under Vietnamese regulations. Vietnam's extensive international trade network includes 19 free trade agreements that have been signed or are in progress. Platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area can support access to broader regional markets.
Under Vietnam's Investment Law and related regulations, feed production and processing are not classified as sectors prohibited or restricted to foreign investment. International investors may establish wholly foreign-owned enterprises or form joint ventures with Vietnamese partners in accordance with the Investment Law and the Enterprise Law. Businesses engaged in feed production must also secure the required license from the relevant agricultural authorities.
