VinFruits Global exports high-quality sun-dried blue crab shells (Portunus pelagicus) from Vietnam’s coastal provinces. A unique raw material prized for its applications in the chitin and chitosan industry, organic fertiliser production and aquaculture feed, our dried crab shells are sourced from sustainable Vietnamese blue crab fisheries and processed to strict quality and hygiene standards.

About the Product

Vietnamese blue crabs are harvested from the coastal waters of the Mekong Delta and South Central Coast. After processing for the seafood industry, the shells are collected, cleaned and sun-dried under controlled conditions to achieve optimal moisture content. Our dried crab shells are free from odour, impurities and excess moisture, making them suitable for high-value downstream industrial processing.
