Panama gave permission after receiving a document from the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Lao dong (Labour) daily quoted the ministry’s National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department as saying.
Vietnamese tra fish exported to Panama will be examined and allowed to be distributed if it satisfies safety requirements.
The Central American country is expected to send staff to inspect tra fish farms and processing facilities in Vietnam in the near future.
Samples of tra fish shipped to Panama will not be taken for testing any more if the facilities are qualified, the department said.-VNA
