Creating space for seafood industry to develop

The seafood industry has two key stages - farming and processing - which have become congested from environmental regulations, Mr. Nguyen Hoai Nam, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), told a meeting between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and seafood industry associations on September 21. In order for marginal productivity to not decline, the seafood sector must be of large scale and capacity, with many reputable brands, and be deeply involved in global supply chains.
