The Catfish Dispute started in 2001 as a trade war between Vietnam and the United States' catfish producers. It mainly concerns the import volume of catfish from Vietnam, which results in lower profits for U.S. catfish producers. In dealing with major losses in profit, the Catfish Farmers of America (CFA) presented a series of lawsuits to the United States Department of Commerce against frozen catfish from Vietnam.
First, the CFA filed for a food labeling claim which forced Vietnamese imported catfish to be labeled "Made in Vietnam". Next, the CFA accused the Vietnamese producers of dumping their products into the U.S. market. Most recently, a catfish quality investigation in program was implemented to verify the quality of catfish by Vietnamese producers. These claims from the CFA propose a trade barrier of catfish between Vietnam and the United States. The unresolved catfish disputes affect not only the producers but the consumers in both countries.
