Seafood exports expected to increase by 9.3%

Vietnamese seafood processing businesses are striving to earn an export turnover of 3.6 billion US$ in 2007, according to the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP).

The businesses, including large ones, Minh Phu, Camimex, Jostoco and Agifish, invested in modernising technologies to raise production capacity and diversify export items.

The fisheries sector will also help businesses improve their capacity of examining antibiotic residues in materials. Seafood export revenues were at 3.36 billion US$ in 2006, surpassing the yearly plan of 2.8 billion US$.
