Pham Anh Tuan, deputy general director of the Vietnam Directorate of Fisheries, told a January 20 seminar in Can Tho city that Vietnam will establish an exemplary farming model and a training centre under an EU-funded project on a sustainable Pangasius supply chain (SUPA).
SUPA representatives said the project will help almost all enterprises in the Tra fish production chain develop new products and modern technologies, establish business links, operate an online forum to share information, and promote transparency relating to the origin of products in a bid to achieve sustainable targets.
SUPA was launched in April 2013 in the Mekong River Delta which is Vietnam’s largest Tra fish producer. It aims to benefit at least 70% of Tra fish producers and processors and 30% of feed producers.
Vietnam currently provides more than 90% of the world’s Tra fish export output and hundreds of local people in the Mekong River Delta region live off Tra fish farming and processing. It earns a staggering US$1.8 billion from exporting this fish every year.
