Abstract: In Vietnam, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growing, disposable income, levels and use of consumer credit and inequality of wealth are the major components affecting the fish supply chain. Developed countries constitute the main outlets for fish and fishery products. United States, the largest single market for fish and fishery products and their high level of per capita fish consumption places year round demand. Besides, Japan plays an important role as second largest single country market with growing potentials.
