According to the International Trade Center (ITC), in the first 6 months of 2021, Vietnam surpassed Thailand to become the largest tuna supplier to Israel, accounting for nearly 31% of this country's total tuna import value.

Noticeably, in the first half of this year, while Israel's tuna imports from most sources decreased, imports from Vietnam increased.

This is a good sign because Israeli consumers turned away from tuna products after having 2 hospitalizations for food poisoning caused by tuna.

Vietnamese tuna exports to Israel also were affected and decreased in the 2018-2020 period. But from the end of 2020 until now, tuna exports to the Israeli have tended to recover. At one point, Vietnamese tuna exports to the Israeli market increased 2.5 times over the same period in 2020.
