Representatives from the US Mazzetta company and the Vietnam-France Animal Feed Production Joint Stock Company (Proconco) have worked with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade in an effort to boost the export of tra and basa fish to the US.
During the working trip from March 24-26, the representatives also discussed issues such as fish origins and sustainable development in the aquaculture sector with officials at the An Giang provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and the provincial Association of Fisheries.
The representatives visited local fish farms and advised Vietnamese fish exporters on the standards and requirements of the US seafood market, in which feed plays an important role in ensuring seafood quality.
Proconco has agreed to invest in research and development to produce quality feed for tra and basa fish and provide Vietnamese farmers with technical support to ensure that their products meet the North American standards.
