HANOI: By 2020, Vietnamese marine fish exports could reach over $2 billion, said the country’s association of seafood exporters and producers (Vasep), citing sector experts.
Capture output is also expected to rise to between 2.2 and 2.4 million metric tons, including 100,000t of tuna, whose value surpasses $500m.
There is a general consensus that technological innovation in processing, preservation, standards such as GlobalGap, BAP, and policies to support fishermen and trade promotion are pivotal in the assurance of seafood quality.
