Vietnam is the fourth biggest seafood provider for Australia, but accounting for only 11.2% of the market share.

In his interview granted to Vietnam News Agency correspondents in Sydney on the occasion of his working visit to Australia from September 8-10, Tam said that the issue was discussed during his meeting with officials from the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources.

Vietnam has so far shipped only processed shrimps to Australia, but not frozen raw ones. The country has been the largest supplier of processed shrimp products to Australia over the past five years.
According to the Deputy Minister, the Australian side showed interest in importing Vietnamese frozen raw shrimps.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, a delegation of Australian experts will make a fact-finding tour to Vietnam to inspect whether Vietnam meets requirements in production in order to export raw shrimps to their country or not.
Deputy Minister Tam said he believes that Vietnam can meet all requirements of Australia as over the past time, the country has focused on investing in shrimp farming technologies, and paid attention to controlling diseases and improving the quality of young shrimps.
According to the Vietnamese Trade Office in Australia, Australia has a great demand of seafood, with the import turnover increasing from US$868 million in 2011 to US$1.6 billion in 2015.
