An Giang, Israel seek fish farming and processing deals
Authorities of the Mekong
delta province of An Giang had a working session on November 21 with
visiting Israeli businesses seeking partnerships in fish farming and
processing.
Omri Horowitz, President of the
Vietnam-Israel Trade Board, who headed the delegation, said he was very
keen on the ideal farming and processing conditions in An Giang.
Apart from coming up with environmentally-friendly breeding and
processing technologies, Israel will also pour investments in the field,
he said.
Le Van Nung, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee, said An Giang is confident of its
resources and potential to push further the cooperation with Israel.
He tabled incentives in land rent and corporate tax for Israeli businesses investing in the locality.
He said more favourable conditions will be created for foreign enterprises, including those from Israel.
According to the Vice Chairman, Israel had recently transferred the
breeding technology for male blue-legged prawn breed to An Giang,
helping the province to overcome the shortage of breeding stock.
During their November 20-22 fact-finding tour, the visiting Israeli
businesspeople visited a number of fish farms and processing facilities
of the Viet An Seafood Company, the Binh Minh Seafood Processing
Company, the Angifish Import-Export Company, the Nam Viet Company and
the Thuan An Trade and Service Company.-VNA
