Difficult year comes to a positive end
Although the supply of farmed pangasius in Viet Nam was lower in 2009 than in 2008 because of poor demand and lower prices, by the end of the year processors had managed to turn the situation around and the total value of exports almost reached the 2008 level, ending at USD 1.34 billion. Prices of pangasius went up slightly by the end of December, with supply about 30% lower than at the end of 2008.
