Vietnam's tra fish industry grapples with export difficultiesThe domestic tra fish industry has overcome several obstacles to achieve its export target this year, and so, needs the State’s support to establish a healthy business environment. Although the total national tra fish exports grew strongly, the exports to the European Union (EU) decreased sharply. However, most export markets of Vietnamese tra fish accepted the increase in the export price. On the other hand, to ensure the export target this year meets at least $2 billion in value, Hoe said the local enterprises can increase the export value of tra fish by developing high-quality processed tra fish products and improving the added value of tra fish exports in the future. The VASEP also requested the ministry to conduct a programme to inspect the tra fish processing facilities and ensure the quality of tra fish products are maintained.
