Pangasius exports to this West Asian country continue to receive strong acceptance and growth, even when the CEPA Trade Agreement - the first free trade agreement Vietnam negotiated with a country in the Central region East and Africa have not yet been signed.

The UAE has a series of suitable factors to become one of Vietnam's important trading partners such as: Ranking first in terms of economy among Arab countries and ranking 17th among 61 competitive economies. highest in the world, the average seafood consumption per capita is higher than the world average, the agricultural economic structure accounts for less than 1%, thus up to 90% of the country's seafood consumption. coming from imports, young people love proteins from seafood in the context of the UAE's economy continuing to expand,... By the end of 2023, Vietnam and the UAE have basically completed most of the content. Negotiating the Vietnam - UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), expected to be signed in 2024.

The CEPA Agreement not only helps directly export goods to the UAE, but is also a stepping stone to help Vietnamese goods penetrate the Middle East market through the "UAE gateway" - a key market in the Middle East, a focal point. for countries such as Africa, Latin America and Europe and Asia in general, thanks to good seaport infrastructure and developed aviation, it is easy to connect with markets.

However, the UAE is also one of the fiercely competitive markets in both price and quality and this is also the biggest challenge for Vietnamese businesses. Vietnam has to compete directly with a number of countries that have signed FTAs ​​with the UAE such as India, Indonesia, Israel and Turkey... because businesses of these countries have enjoyed incentives when exporting goods to the UAE, so they have more competitive advantage compared to Vietnamese export enterprises.

Therefore, to further promote the export of Vietnamese goods to the UAE, Vietnamese businesses need to apply advanced science and technology in production, change management methods, and minimize costs. intermediaries, to reduce product costs and increase the competitiveness of Vietnamese products.
