The study aimed to measure the combined effect of five marketing barriers (product, price, distribution, logistics, and promotion) on the export performance of Vietnamese seafood companies and the relationship between these factors. In the survey of 152 business managers from the seafood companies in the Mekong Delta provinces and Southern focal economic areas in Vietnam, collected data sets are used to build the trade barrier measurement scale and check assumptions. The results indicate that, except for the promotion barrier, the barriers of product, price, distribution, and logistics have a significant negative impact on export performance. Based on the relative importance of the different marketing barriers, seafood firms should firstly focus on quality improvements in order to improve their export performance
