Abstract:
The Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the European Union (EU – Vietnam Free Trade Agreement - EVFTA)
officially came into effect on August 1, 2020. After five years of implementation, the EVFTA has brought many economic benefits to
the Vietnamese fisheries sector in general and Vietnamese seafood export businesses in particular. This article analyzes the benefits of
the EVFTA for the Vietnamese fisheries sector, as well as the opportunities and challenges it presents, and proposes recommendations
to contribute to the development of Vietnamese seafood exports in the future.
