CBI Product Factsheet: Pangasius in the United Kingdom
‘Practical market insights for your product’
The United Kingdom (UK) is the fifth largest market for
pangasius in the EU. In 2013, imports were 15% higher than
in 2010, and in the first two months of 2014, imports further
increased. This product fact sheet provides you with
information on product specifications, statistics, trends, market
channels and segments, and competitiveness of pangasius in
the seafood market of the UK.
Product definition
Figure 1: Pangasius
The scientific name for pangasius is Pangasius hypophthalmus. In Vietnam, the
fish is mostly referred to as basa. In the UK, pangasius and (Vietnamese) river
cobbler, and also basa are used. The HS codes referred to in this product fact
sheet are given in table 1. Pangasius fillets belong to the broader product group
of fish fillets (HS 0304). Since 2012, whole fresh/chilled catfish (HS 0302) and
whole frozen catfish (HS 0303) have also been reported as separate HS codes
that include pangasius. Pangasius represents over 95% of the trade volume and
value included in the HS codes for catfish fillets. In the UK, pangasius competes
with white fish species such as Alaska pollack, haddock and cod.

Product specification This section provides you with basic information about product specifications and
import requirements in the United Kingdom, which is based on EU legislation.
Important legislation is the recently renewed Common Organisation of the
Market, which contains the rules of the organisation of the market for fishery
and aquaculture products in the EU. Legislation about how to inform EU
consumers about fishery and aquaculture products is also relevant to you.
Below, you can find more specific information about the labelling, packaging,
and processing of pangasius for the market in the United Kingdom.
Labelling:
The contents of labelling must be provided in English.
When importing fishery and aquaculture products into
the EU, the following information must be provided on
the labelling or packaging of the fishery product, or by
means of a commercial document accompanying the
goods:
The name of the product: The commercial and
scientific name of the species. For this purpose,
Member States publish a list of the commercial
and scientific names accepted in their
territories;
Production method: In the case of pangasius, it
must be mentioned that it is a cultured product;
Origin: In the case of pangasius, there needs to
be a reference to the country of production;
Presentation: There must be a mention of how
the product is processed (for frozen products
whole fish or fillets; for fresh products gutted,
with or without head, filleted, thawed, other);
Net Weight: The net weight must be stated on
pre-packed products;
Date of minimum durability: Consisting of day,
month, and year, in that order and preceded by
the words "best before" or "best before end" or
the "use by" date;
EU seller: The name or business name and
address of the manufacturer, packager or seller
established in the EU;
The package must contain an EU approval
number;
The packaging must also contain a lot number;
Nutrition: Ingredients and nutrition must be
mentioned;
The competent authority with respect to
labelling is the Food Labelling and Standards
Division of the Food Standards Agency. This
agency is also appointed as the competent
authority regarding traceability and compliance.
Packaging:
Packaging requirements differ widely between customers and market segments.
Therefore, it is crucial that you discuss your customers’ preferred packaging
requirements. Some general characteristics are:
Frozen pangasius imported by wholesalers are mostly delivered in 10 x
1 kg bags packed in master cartons. Smaller bags are sometimes
requested for smaller size fillets;

Frozen pangasius fillet is mostly imported in polybags of 250/500
grams or 1000 grams, which are directly distributed to retail. Breading
or battering of frozen pangasius fillets is usually done by UK
processors;
In retail, defrosted pangasius is sometimes sold over the counter, but
mostly packed for self-service in a tray and plastic filter as breaded,
battered, and sometimes also smoked product.
Processing and colour:
Colour: UK consumers have a strong preference
for white and sometimes light pink. Pink is not
the preference;
Preferred processing: Mostly natural fillets
(skinless, boneless, belly fat off, red meat off),
that also can be breaded or battered. Defrosted
fillets can also be smoked;
Glazing: However, the Vietnamese Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)
recently has issued a decree to limit the glazing
to 10%. Glazing rates have to be declared;
Tumbling to increase water content is allowed
but limited if it is declared. However, it is often
unwanted by buyers and consumers in Europe.
In the decree mentioned above, the water content of frozen pangasius
is set at a maximum of 83%.

Buyer requirements
Buyer requirements can be divided into: (1) musts, requirements you must
meet in order to enter the market, such as legal requirements; (2) common
requirements, which are those most of your competitors have already
implemented, in other words, the ones you need to comply with in order to keep
up with the market; and (3) niche market requirements for specific segments.
You can find a general overview of the EU buyer requirements for fish and
seafood on the Market Intelligence Platform of CBI.

Requirements you must meet (1)
These are the legal requirements for the import of pangasius into the UK. More
information about these legal requirements can be found on the EU export
helpdesk.
Compliance with EU Food Law and traceability:
The EU Food Law is the basis for legislation with
respect to food safety in the EU. The EU Food Law
is supplemented by other EU legislation regarding
hygiene and the use of forbidden substances such
as hormones and pesticides;
Traceability is defined by the EU as the ability to
trace and follow pangasius and other seafood
products that will be used for consumption,
through all stages of production, processing, and
distribution;
EU companies that deal with pangasius and other
seafood products have to provide information
about the supplier and the buyer of the pangasius
on a batch level;

Companies in the EU are required to have systems
in place that allow for information regarding
traceability, in order to be able to identify from
where and how pangasius was produced and
processed in the third country. Therefore,
traceability is also important for exporters from
developing countries.
Health control:
Pangasius that is imported into the UK must comply
with the following general health requirements:
Country health approval: The European
Commission´s Directorate General for Health and
Consumers (DG SANCO) applies a procedure to
assess if your country complies with EU Public and
Animal Health conditions. Part of this procedure is
an on-site review by the Food and Veterinary Office
(FVO);
Approved establishments: Pangasius can only be
imported into the EU, if they have been processed
and prepared in establishments that are on a list
approved by DG SANCO. The competent authority
in Vietnam, NAFIQAD, is responsible for the
approval of your company. If you are approved,
you will receive an EU approval number that has to
be mentioned on the label;
Health certificates: Imports of pangasius into the
EU must be accompanied by a health certificate
signed by the competent authority of the exporting
third country. This certificate states that your
products are suitable to be exported to the EU. In
practice, various models of health certificates are
applied, which can depend on the category of
products, the species concerned or special health
conditions;
Hygiene and health control: Upon arrival in the EU,
pangasius products and the accompanying
certificates must be inspected by veterinarian
officials. The result of the inspection is reflected in
the Common Veterinary Entry Document (CVED).
Control of contaminants and residues of
veterinary medicines:
Imports of pangasius into the UK should comply with
EU legislation designed to ensure that the product is
safe to eat and does not contain contaminants,
chemical substances, and residues at levels that could
threaten human health. For pangasius, it is about which
chemicals may be used during the production, and
which residues for pangasius are allowed in the EU. If
you want to export aquaculture products to the EU, you
have to be aware of the following issues:
Pangasius products containing contaminants at a
level that is unacceptable for public health will be
rejected;
The level of contaminants must be kept as low as
can reasonably be achieved;
For several contaminants, maximum levels are set
to protect public health;
On the website of the European
Commission, you can find more
information about the EU Food Law.
Here, you can find more information
about the activities of the Food and
Veterinarian Office of the EU.
See the list of EU approved fishery
establishments for your country to
check which of your competitors have
access to the EU.
Discuss with your buyers which model
of health certificate is needed.
More information about the import
conditions and legislation in the UK
for food products that are imported
from outside the EU can be found in

Regulatory Advice on Import
Legislation) of the Food Standards

Your country is required to submit an annual
residue monitoring plan to the European
Commission;
Samples of consignments may be tested for
residues by national reference laboratories in the
Member States;
The maximum concentration of a residue of a
pharmacologically active substance that may be
permitted in an aquaculture product is the
Maximum Residue Limit (MRL). MRLs are listed in
Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 (OJ L-15
20/01/2010). If your product surpasses these
limits in this regulation, it will be rejected.
Agency.
In 2012, VASEP published a report
with Answers and Questions about
the production and trade of
pangasius. On page 31 and 32, you
can find a list with antibiotics and
chemicals that are banned in the
production and trading of pangasius,
and for veterinary use.
On the export desk of the EU, you can
find more information about control of
residues of veterinary medicines.
Common requirements (2)
For pangasius, common requirements are mainly requirements with respect to
food safety. More information about which food safety standards are relevant
can be found on the ITC standards map. GlobalG.A.P., a standard that promotes
Good Agricultural Practices, is another common requirement in addition to food
safety standards, if you want to export pangasius to the UK.
Food safety standards
Third-party food safety certification schemes such as
the British Retail Consortium (BRC) are very important
in the EU, especially in northern Europe. It is especially
a buyer requirement if you supply to (large)
international retailers.
British Retail Consortium (BRC)
Food safety certification is very
important in the UK, where it is a buyer
requirement if you supply to large
retailers and catering companies. In
Vietnam, there are already 62 BRC
approved fish-processing
establishments.
GlobalG.A.P.
GlobalG.A.P. is a business-to-business
(B2B) certification scheme. Various
Vietnamese pangasius producers are
already GlobalG.A.P.-certified. In 2013,
GlobalG.A.P. and the Aquaculture
Stewardship Council started to work
together in order to harmonise their
requirements. A step-by-step approach
makes it possible to first become
GlobalG.A.P.-certified and then work
towards ASC certification.

Niche market requirements (3)
In the UK, sustainability certification of pangasius is still seen as a niche market
requirement, although for large retail and catering companies in the UK,
sustainability certification has nearly become a buyer requirement.
Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)
An emerging B2C certification scheme
for aquaculture products, expected to
become the dominant scheme in
aquaculture. In May 2013, Sainsbury’s
was the first retailer in the UK who
offered ASC-certified pangasius. In
April 2014, more than 190,000 tons of
pangasius were ASC-certified. 43 farms
have been awarded with the ASC
certification scheme, while six were in
assessment.
Considerations for action
If you already sell ASC-certified
pangasius or are interested in doing
so, discuss with your buyer whether a
premium can be paid or calculate if
you can produce ASC-certified
pangasius on a cost–neutral basis.
For more information about ASC
standards and certification, check the
ASC Website and the website of the
ASC accelerator support programme.
Trade and macro-economic statistics

Analysis and interpretation
Imports
The import of frozen pangasius fillets in the UK grew
from €21 million in 2010 to €27 million in 2013; an
increase of 15%. In January-February 2014, the
export value of Vietnamese pangasius to the UK was
16% higher compared to the same period in 2013.
The growing supplies of competing wild-caught white
fish species such as cod did not have a negative
effect on the imports of pangasius in the UK in 2013.
The lower import price of pangasius can be an
explanation for this. Based on the trade statistics of

January-February 2014, a further increase of the
import of pangasius into the UK in 2014 is expected.
The UK imported 9,400 tons of frozen pangasius
fillets in 2010 (4% of total EU imports in 2010). In
2013, it imported 11,800 tonnes of pangasius, which
was an increase of 36% compared to 2010. Besides
frozen fillets, the UK also imports small volumes of
frozen whole pangasius (700 tons) and fresh
pangasius fillets (600 tons) in 2013.
The average import price per kg of frozen pangasius
fillets in the UK in 2013 was €2.29. The average
import price of pangasius in the UK is high compared
to the other main EU markets. The high import price
reflects the strict quality requirements (e.g. glazing,
tumbling) for pangasius in the UK market.
Additionally, the use of pangasius for traditional fish
and chips, where comparable portions and good
quality fillets are required, results in specific
requirements that are more expensive. Import
prices in the other main markets for pangasius in
2013 were €2.03 in the Netherlands, €1.92 in
Germany, €1.70 in Italy, €1.68 in Spain, and €1.40
in Poland.
Exports
The UK does not re-export large volumes of
pangasius. In 2013, about €1 million of frozen
pangasius fillets was re-exported. The most
important export markets were Germany (€0.6
million) and France (€0.3 million). Export data for
fresh pangasius fillets have only become available
since 2012. Please take into account that these
trade data could contain other catfish species
besides pangasius.

few years has been slowly decreasing. The main
factor is that British consumers have not been
willing to spend more on seafood, while the prices of
seafood products have increased. For 2012, the per
capita purchase of seafood per week was 158
grams, of which 144 grams at home and 14 grams
in restaurants. In 2007, this amount was 178 grams
per capita. British consumers ate less fish at home,
while the consumption of fish in restaurants has
been stable. Consumption of seafood in the UK in
the future however is expected to rise steadily.
Factors that support the expected growth are
increased health awareness, an increase in
household spending, advanced production
technologies in aquaculture and fisheries, and an
ageing population who prefers fish.
In 2012, 36% of the purchases of fish for
consumption at home were ready meals. Other
popular products are canned products (17%) and
fresh and frozen white fish products (15%).
The traditional ‘Big Five’ species in the UK that are
consumed most are tuna, cod, salmon, haddock, and
prawns. Diversification of the product range of fish
species is recognised as important by major retailers
in order to reduce pressure on the traditional
species.
Statistics of the British Government.
As retailers are interested in
broadening their product range of
seafood species, pangasius is an
important alternative for traditional
white fish species. Discuss with your
UK buyers what product innovations
could be interesting for pangasius.
Market Trends
CBI Trend Mapping provides you with general trends in the European white fish
market. This section provides more details about specific trends in the pangasius
and broader seafood market in the UK.
Analysis and interpretation
Social:
Negative media attention: Although less
severe than in Germany, pangasius still has
a rather negative image because of critical
media attention in recent years. Moreover,
consumers in the UK are not familiar with
pangasius compared to other white fish
species, because they have a strong tradition
with wild-caught white fish such as haddock
and cod. The recent introduction of ASC
pangasius in the UK market however may
contribute to a more positive image of the
product.
Changing consumer patterns may
benefit pangasius: Overall seafood
consumption in the UK is expected to grow.
Besides the traditional fish species, it is
expected that other fish species also may
gain market share. Sainsbury’s, a major UK
retailer, identified tilapia, pollack, sea bass,
hake and saithe as potentially interesting
species for the UK market that may increase
Considerations for action
To increase the awareness and
familiarity of UK consumers with
pangasius, a generic marketing plan to
tell the story of pangasius and the
promotion of sustainable practices is
recommended.

Fish to find more information about
trends and developments in the UK
Seafood market.

their market position. The acceptance of
alternative fish species may also benefit
pangasius.
Barriers for eating fish in the UK:
Important barriers to UK consumers
purchasing fish are the relatively high cost of
fish products in general, the lack of
knowledge regarding how to prepare fish,
and not enough preparation time. Pangasius
is a product suitable for overcoming these
barriers, as it is a relatively cheap product,
which is easy to use and has a neutral taste.
Technical:
Concern about taste, consistency, and
soaking: European buyers are increasingly
aware of issues related to tempering
pangasius with phosphates and increasing
water content through tumbling and
soaking. Although these techniques are
allowed, they are often unwanted by
European consumers. In order to improve
the image of pangasius in the European
market, you should be aware of the risks of
soaking and tempering and consider not
using these technologies to sell your
products at a lower price.
Economic:
Less spending on seafood: British
consumers have not spent more on seafood
products in recent years; they spent more on
almost all other kinds of foods, however.
When prices increase, they tend to search for
cheaper alternatives, or reduce their seafood
consumption. The low price of pangasius and
the current economic situation makes this
product particularly interesting for British
consumers.
Competition with wild-caught white fish
species: The UK traditionally prefers wild-
caught white fish species, such as haddock
and cod, species often used for the
traditional fish and chips. After years of
declining cod stocks, cod quotas for 2012
and 2013 have increased. When the supply
of cod was low, in some market segments
such as quick service restaurants in catering,
pangasius gained popularity as a cost-
effective substitute. Even though pangasius
is still an interesting species in the current
economic climate, growing supplies of cod
can put the market position of pangasius
under pressure.
Environmental:
Strict requirements regarding
sustainability: Although sustainability is a
major issue in the UK market, sustainability
Discuss with your buyers what product
innovations, such as ready meals with
pangasius, might benefit the market
position of pangasius in the UK.
VASEP, together with CBI and Dutch
importers, Seafood Connection, and
Anova will launch a campaign to
reposition ASC-certified pangasius in the
EU market. The aim is to reposition the
certified fish as a price premium product
in leading retail. The launch of the
campaign was during the European
Seafood Exhibition in Brussels with 18
ASC-approved suppliers. If you want to
be directly involved in this campaign or
need more information, check this

certification schemes are less dominant than
in the Netherlands or Germany, for example.
In the UK, major retailers and catering
companies have their own strict
requirements for responsible sourcing and
minimising negative environmental impact.
Although certification is gaining more
importance, consumers in the UK are not yet
familiar with certification schemes.
EU, read this report about the market
perspectives of ASC pangasius on the
CBI website.
The ASC website provides useful
information about the certification
process of pangasius and support
options.
Market Channels and Segments
For more general information about market segments and channels, take a look
at the Market Channels and Segments document on the European market for
white fish products available at the CBI market intelligence platform. This
section provides some detailed information about the various marketing
channels through which pangasius is marketed in the UK.
Figure 6: Market segments and channels of pangasius in the UK
Analysis and interpretation
In the period of 21 July 2011 – 21 July
2012, pangasius (basa) was ranked 20th
of fish products sold in the UK.
Purchases of pangasius in retail were
1.6% lower compared to the previous
year and amounted to more than £13
million. Salmon was consumed most,
with total purchases of £686 million.
In retail, chilled seafood products are
most popular. In 2011, 56% of the
seafood purchases in retail were chilled
products, while frozen products
accounted for 27% and other products
(canned and other categories) had a

share of 18%.
With respect to fish purchases, the
most important retail chains are Tesco
(26.5%), Sainsbury’s (18.8%), Asda
(13.0%), Morrisons (12.8%), and
Waitrose (8.1%).
Pangasius fillets are mostly imported as
frozen fillets. Secondary processing
(such as breading or battering) occurs
at seafood processing companies in the
UK. Most retailers do not source fish
products themselves but make use of
large importing and wholesaling
companies.
In 2011, overall food purchases in the
catering segment were 13% lower
compared to 2010. This is mainly due
to the economic downturn, which
results in consumers switching to eating
more at home or preferring cheaper
out-of-home deals. As economic
forecasts are slowly improving,
consumers might be willing to spend
more on eating out-of-home, which can
benefit the catering segment.
White fish is the most popular product
in catering. About 80% of the
purchases of seafood consist of white
fish species such as cod and haddock.
Fried fish is the most popular product
with about a third of the sector share,
followed by fish sandwiches with
products such as prawns and tuna.
Pangasius has increasingly been used
as alternative white fish for traditional
fish and chips meals, because of the
firm meat. The consistent size of
pangasius fillets makes the products
attractive to use for the standard
production of meals in catering,
compared to wild-caught white fish
species.
Secondary processing of pangasius, such
as breading or battering of fillets, can be
an interesting opportunity to add value to
your products. Discuss with your buyers if
they are interested value-added pangasius
products.
Consumers’ preferences differ between the
retail and catering segment; the
requirements of the segments are also
different. Cooperate with your buyers to
fulfil the needs and requirements of their
clients.
Market Competitiveness
For general information about the competitiveness of white fish in the EU
market, take a look at the CBI Market Competitiveness document available at
the CBI market intelligence platform. This section provides you with a short
overview of prices of pangasius and competing frozen and fresh white fish fillets
in the UK retail market, based on price data from February 2013 (1 Euro =
£0.85).
