Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers informed on May 4 that foreign importers from the EU, the US and Japan have highly appreciated Vietnam’s seafood quality.
Statistics from the three largest import markets in the EU, Japan and the US show that quality of Vietnamese seafood exports has improved a lot compared to previous years, despite undergoing several difficulties since the beginning of this year, causing even export turnover to fall marginally.
At present, 130 Pangasius breeding farms on more than 2,800 hectares in the Mekong Delta have the “Certificate for Sustainability,” and account for nearly 40 percent of the region’s total breeding area.
More than 50 percent of the fish processing plants have got quality certificates like Global Gap and ASC (Agriculture Stewardship Council).
