Vietnam's seafood sector has rapidly transformed, emerging as a global leader in fish exports. This success is driven by strategic vision, a commitment to quality, and innovation. At THIENDUC AQUARIUM, our journey reflects this national achievement as we cultivate and export premium freshwater and marine fish to meet the high standards of our European partners.
From Tradition to Triumph: A History of Aquaculture
The rich, fertile deltas of Vietnam have long been home to a deep-rooted tradition of fishing and aquaculture. This historical foundation, however, laid the groundwork for a much larger transformation. Over the past two decades, traditional small-scale practices have evolved into a sophisticated, large-scale industry.
This transition has been driven by both governmental support and the pioneering spirit of local businesses. It is within this context of growth and ambition that THIENDUC AQUARIUM was established in 2012 in Cu Chi district - Ho Chi Minh City. We saw the potential to contribute to the nation’s burgeoning export market by specializing in the production and export of premium freshwater ornamental fish, a niche that perfectly complements the wider success of Vietnamese Fish Exports.
The success of Vietnamese Fish Exports is most vividly demonstrated through key species that have captured the global palate. The iconic Pangasius (or Basa fish) has become a staple in kitchens worldwide, prized for its mild flavour and versatility. Its cost-effectiveness and adaptability have made it a major export earner.
Simultaneously, Vietnam’s shrimp industry has flourished, establishing the country as a top global producer and exporter of high-quality shrimp, celebrated for its taste and consistent quality. This dual-pronged success has solidified Vietnam's reputation as a reliable and innovative seafood source.
The Foundations of Our International Trade Achievement
The cornerstone of our collective success lies in a relentless pursuit of excellence and a deep understanding of market demands.
Creative Solutions and Environmentally
Modern aquaculture is a science, and Vietnam has embraced this reality with cutting-edge technology. Our farming methods, including closed-loop systems and advanced feeding technology, have allowed us to achieve higher yields and superior product quality while minimizing our environmental footprint.
At THIENDUC AQUARIUM, we are part of this movement. We are dedicated to developing the production of freshwater fishes and building nationwide satellite systems with the best quality to prepare for export. This commitment ensures that our fish are not only beautiful and healthy but are also grown in a responsible and sustainable manner, reflecting the core principles that define modern Vietnamese Fish Exports.
A Unique Product Portfolio for the European Consumer
While large-scale Vietnamese Fish Exports of food fish dominate the headlines, our focus at THIENDUC AQUARIUM is on meeting the refined tastes of European aquarists and wholesalers. Our unique strength lies in our product diversity. We offer a remarkable selection of wild fish, which have been caught from rivers and streams in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, China, and Thailand.
This extensive system of wild fish ensures we are always bringing new, unique products to the market—a key advantage for European consumers who appreciate rare and exotic species. For our marine fish portfolio, we always work with the best farms and have many beautiful fish caught, tamed, and supplied, guaranteeing the highest quality and health standards for every shipment.
Unlocking the European Market
The European market, with its strict regulations and high standards, is a testament to the quality and safety of Vietnamese Fish Exports. Our approach is designed to meet and exceed these expectations.
Strict Excellence and Nutritional Security Requirements
For EU customers, quality and safety are non-negotiable. Our fish, from the moment they are cultivated to the time they are packaged for transport, undergo a rigorous quality control process. While large-scale exports adhere to certifications like ASC and GlobalGAP, our internal protocols at THIENDUC AQUARIUM are just as stringent.
Every fish is carefully monitored for health, colour, and vitality, ensuring that only the best specimens are prepared for export. This meticulous attention to detail from our farm to your facility ensures that you receive a product of unmatched quality. The trust and confidence of our European partners are paramount to our business.
Trust and Reliability
The success of Vietnamese Fish Exports in Europe is built on a foundation of trust. We understand that reliable partnerships are key to your business. Our extensive satellite system and dedicated team allow us to maintain a consistent supply of healthy, high-quality fish year-round.
This logistical strength, combined with our commitment to transparency and communication, makes us a dependable partner for importers across the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. We are not just selling fish; we are building relationships based on the reliability and excellence that are hallmarks of Vietnamese Fish Exports.
Overcoming Obstacles and Constructing a Robust Tomorrow
Despite our success, we remain vigilant about the challenges that lie ahead. Intense global competition and evolving trade barriers require continuous adaptation and innovation. Nevertheless, these difficulties merely reinforce our determination. By focusing on value-added products and fostering an unyielding commitment to sustainability, we are poised for continued growth.
The future of Vietnamese Fish Exports lies in embracing technology and expanding our product offerings, moving beyond raw materials to deliver unique, processed, and specialised products that captivate the global market. At THIENDUC AQUARIUM, we are proud to be at the forefront of this evolution, continuing to bring the beauty and diversity of Vietnamese aquatic life to the world.
