The prices of "tra" and "basa" catfish continue rising in the Mekong delta with one kilogramme of high-quality "tra" fish selling for VND17,200 on February 26 - a record high over the past 30 years.


Despite a scarce supply of seafood in the domestic market, export businesses are hunting for "tra" and "basa" catfish.


Chairman Phan Van Danh of the An Giang Aquatic Produce Breeding and Processing Association said the "tra" and "basa" catfish price hike has prompted farmers in Dong Thap, Vinh Long and Tien Giang provinces and Can Tho City to expand fish raising ponds.


The prices are expected to be stabilised when a new batch of "tra" and "basa" catfish is harvested in one month’s time.
