Annual Tra fish exports expected to increase 5%
Earnings from Tra fish exports are expected to increase 5% to reach US$1.6-1.7 billion in 2016, according to Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP).
The association also said Tra fish processors are facing material shortages, after many farmers stopped raising the fish due to falling Tra fish price and a lack of fry.
In order to meet the projected figure, VASEP advised businesses to sign contracts with farmers to ensure stable supply and prices while helping expand fish farming area.
