Basha: the price of fish is rising
Fish saplings are rising to a record high
According to news from 5 january 2026, according to the latest data report, the price of fish ponds in basha, viet nam, continued to rise, prices for various specifications rose to a point in at least three years, prices of seedlings were synchronized to record levels and markets were operating at high levels。
In terms of specific specifications, the price of balakas of 800 g-1. 0 kg and 1. 0 kg-1. 2 kg, both at ponds, exceeded 34,000 vnd/kg (approximately us$ 1. 3/kg), not only at its highest level since 2022, but also reached a marked leap from the price of 32,000 vnd/kg the previous week。
It is noteworthy that the two-specific salsa are the main source of processed fish for export to the european union and the united states, where the united states market prefers the larger-specified species in the zone, whose price increases will directly affect the cost structure of the export supply chain。
The main power specification for the market in china, greater than 1. 2 kg of large-scale salsa, remained relatively stable but strong at 33,000 vnd/kg for week 51. Although the price of the specification has increased by less than a small size, the current price has peaked since 2020. Previously, the price of the basal fish pond had remained high and had risen slightly, owing in essence to the tightening of the supply side, while the demand of major processing enterprises had remained stable。
The most dramatic change in the basha market was when the prices of seedlings surged. The data show that the price of sashimi per kilogram of 30 tail specification in the 51st week rose again to a record level of 80400 vnd/kg. (frozen strategy)

Note: as of 11 a. M. On 23 december, the price of salmon is more volatile, based on the latest market position
On the morning of 6 january, due to the impact of the snowstorm in northern norway and the associated flights, the market expected a short-term build-up of supply constraints and a temporary surge in the price of salmon in beijing, shanghai and guangzhou。
Since around christmas and into 2026, the import of salmon has continued to experience severe shocks, prices have fluctuated like roller coasters, and the industry as a whole has entered a high volatility and high risk cycle. The dealer described it as: “if the goods arrive, they may fall in price; when they are sold, the flow rises” and the operational difficulty increases significantly。
In the case of the south china market, for example, the price of norway's new fish of 6-7 kg was once raised to $156 per kilogram on new year's day and fell from $8 to $10/kg the same night; then it began to fall, and on 4 january, after new year's holiday, the price fell further to 105-115 dollars per kilogram; this morning, again, the price rebounded, driven by the demand-supply relationship in the spot market。
Currently, real-time stock levels in major wholesale markets, as well as recent developments in the arrival of flights, are key factors that directly affect day-to-day offers. (seafood guide)
