Vietnam counters false tra fish rumoursDeputy Minister of Industry and Trade Cao Quoc Hung on Wednesday held a press conference at the Vietnamese Embassy in Spain, sharing information on breeding and export of tra fish. As per European Union (EU) regulations, to export tra fish products to the bloc, enterprises and exporters have to clear many steps. Viet Nam exports tra fish products to 160 countries and territories across the world, making an estimated annual turnover of around US$1.66 billion. The report claimed that the fish are bred in unclean cages and given non-industrialised feed such as dead fish and other food waste, which it claimed is the reason why Vietnamese tra fish is inexpensive. A number of schools in Spain also refused to buy Vietnamese tra fish.
