Vietnam Yellowfin Tuna

FIP Stage: 5 (Improvements on the Water) Progress Rating: A (Advanced Progress) Start Date: April 2014 Last Updated: September 2023

Yellowfin tuna is Vietnam’s most valuable wild-capture export product, making it a critical source of jobs and income. There are approximately 3,000 vessels and 9,000 fishers fishing for yellowfin, with a total export value of nearly $646 million in 2022.

The fishery faces challenges from a lack of robust harvest strategy and control rules, adequate data on ecosystem impacts, and sufficient management to reduce bycatch, such as sharks and turtles.

The active involvement of FIP Stakeholders, including several national government agencies, and FIP Participants are helping to drive improvements against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standard.
