Although the export price decreased, the export volume of pangasius products to China in the first half of this year still grew steadily by 34%, mainly due to growth in the second quarter of 2024.

China's slowing economy has made consumers more cautious and hesitant in spending, forcing the country's importers to focus on cheaper items. With cheaper prices than some domestic fish species such as carp, tilapia, snakehead fish, pangasius is more popular and has a firmer foothold in this country.
