Shrimp industry fears domino effect from possible EU India ban
By Neil RamsdenOct. 27, 2017 09:18 GMT

The Indian -- and indeed global -- shrimp sectors are holding their breath while they await a decision from the European Union on whether it will take measures against perceived health risks of Indian shrimp imports, Siam Canadian Group CEO Jim Gulkin told Undercurrent News.

"If there is an outright ban, or other severe restrictions placed that could drastically curtail India shipments to the EU, there will be a domino effect on the industry," he said.

Such an event could lead to several different outcomes, he said.

One is that India "totally pivots to the US market", and increases sales as much as it possibly can to Vietnam and China too.

"As a result, Thailand and Indonesia would be further squeezed from the US market. Thailand does not have the option of increasing their sales to the EU to pick up some of the slack left by an India ban, due to Thailand’s lack of GSP [generalized scheme of preferences] privileges."

In this scenario Indonesia could potentially pick up some EU business, "but their market in the EU has always been marginal; the factories are mostly not well set up for EU-type production so there would be a limit to what they could gain", Gulkin said.

The net result for both Thailand and Indonesia would be lower sales to the US, with no obvious alternative markets to make up the loss.

"Vietnam would be the net winner in Asia. It already has substantial market share throughout the EU, and it would be easy for it to ramp this up," he predicted; admittedly, speaking before the EU issued its "yellow card" warning to Vietnam over a perceived lack of efforts against illegal fishing.

"Vietnam already struggles in the US market, so new opportunities in the EU would be a net gain, despite increased competition in the US." The potential danger for Vietnam is that the EU restricts imports from there, over concerns that reprocessed Indian raw material could find its way to Europe via Vietnam, he noted.

Can stop laughing wt a self called "largest shrimp exporter", shrimp tech is too low for EU standard ........but their market in the EU has always been marginal; the factories are mostly not well set up for EU-type production so there would be a limit to what they could gain",


True. Seem like only VN shrimp farming tech is good enough to pass all required inspection in Aussie, EU and other rich TPP markets.

Grow your own shrimp seed instead of smugling it from indonesia then
Thats because indonesia main shrimp export destination are not EU

Vietnamese seafood exports to benefit from Trans-Pacific Partnership
By

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is one of the most ambitious free trade agreements ever crafted and could create a new single market something like that of the E.U. When it comes to seafood, with nearly half of its exports going to Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) member nations, probable TPP member-state Vietnam is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries from the treaty.

In 2015, seafood exports to TPP countries were worth USD 3 billion (EUR 2.61 billion), or 46 percent of the country’s total, according to Trương Đình Hòe, general secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP). Hòe was speaking at a seminar entitled, “TPP – Opportunities and Challenges to Vietnam’s Import-Export Activities” in Ho Chi Minh City in mid-April, as reported by VietnamNet.

The United States and Japan were the two largest importers, with a total value of more than USD 2 billion (EUR 1.74 billion) last year, he said.

The TPP involves 12 countries: the U.S., Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru. The treaty was signed on 4 February but has not yet been ratified by all 12 signatories. If and when that happens and the treaty goes into effect, Vietnamese seafood exporters will stand to benefit from the deal, said Hòe.

“It seeks to reduce or eliminate 90 percent of import taxes between the 12 countries, raising the country’s [Vietnam’s] competitiveness vis-à-vis other exporting nations,” Hòe said.

For instance, Japan, the second largest buyer of Vietnamese tuna after the U.S., has for a long time imposed higher taxes on Vietnamese products than those from other ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) member countries.

Argentina, Ecuador and India, the other main exporters to Japan, do not have a free trade agreement with that country, said Hòe. The TPP would make Vietnamese shrimp more competitive in the U.S. than that from Argentina, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the Philippines or Indonesia, enabling Vietnam to significantly increase exports to that country, he added.

When the TPP comes into force, which is expected sometime later this year (there is has been a change of government in Vietnam, but it is expected that the new administration will follow up on the agreement and ratify it by the end of this year), export tariffs would be eliminated, creating an incentive for seafood firms to invest in their supply chain from farming to processing and export, bringing them higher economic value. Vietnamese processors, who face a raw materials shortage, also expect to import these materials at cheaper rates once the TPP takes effect.

Only poor ppl eat wild shrimp in that polluted water. VN export shrimp from high tech farming area and passed all required inspection while Thai, Indonesia using low tech farming failed the EU inspection

Well good luck with that, i really do hope vietnam economy growing, but betting on TPP don't make you bullet proof, we have to see 5 to 10 year until TPP have effect, when first time NAFTA being introduce people think mexico will be benevited from it, but look at it now, they still strugling, well best of luck for you guys with TPP

Man, its tired when explain again and again that with or without TPP, VN export still keep growing. Our high tech seafood products passed all EU,JP,US's inspection and will pass Aussie's inspection soon.

TPP just help VN sea food have better price thanks to Zero tariff for TPP and easier in beating seafood from none TPP nations .

JP want TPP and try much harder in TPP than VN cos JP high tech products like Phone, chips, ship building etc are being killed by SK,TW,CN. So JP need TPP to kick SK,TW,CN out of TPP market.

End of discussion. Post whatever VN bad news here, I dont care. My next post is abt high tech VN shrimp again

we are not Mexico although some of our neighbors wish us to end as Mexico. a strong Vietnam will benefit all of us in the region including Indonesia, as you won´t rely on a single big country in the north as consumers or tourists.

shrimp farming in controlled enviroment: high output, high profit, less cost, less polution. the way to go
