The province recorded 8,300 tonnes of frozen shrimp exports in the first four months of 2013, generating more than 84 million USD, a year-on-year increase of 50 percent.
The achievement is attributable to businesses’ activeness in finding new markets in Asian and Arabian countries, Australia , Hong Kong and the Republic of Korea.
To maintain their prestige in new markets, businesses have tightened quality control, hygiene and safety.
However, the province’s seafood exporters still face difficulties accessing capital from banks. In spite of a fall in interest rates, borrowing conditions remain hard to satisfy. Therefore, businesses have failed to make long-term production and trade plans.-VNA
