Vietnam worries next tariff dispute will be about shrimp (AP): “After losing a major trade dispute with the United States over catfish tariffs, Vietnam is worried about the possible impact on an even bigger market: its shrimp.” Also, from Radio Australia, “US shrimpers say low-priced shrimp from Vietnam and other Asian and Latin American countries is being dumped on the US market. The Southern Shrimp Alliance, a coalition of eight southern and eastern seaboard states, is considering legal action against foreign shrimp exporters. The US was Vietnam’s largest shrimp export market in 2002, accepting 48 per cent of Vietnamese shrimp exports.”
