Vietnam’s seafood exports up but EU’s warning on IIU fishing raise concern
Friday, December 8,2017AsemconnectVietnam - The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP)’s aim to reach US$524 million in tuna exports this year has already been achieved with exports hitting US$541 million as of November, the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
However, Vietnam had faced difficulties following a “yellow card” issued by the EU as a warning for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Hoe said VASEP has been working with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) to deal with the yellow card for the rest of the six-month punishment.
The VASEP representative said that in order to maintain seafood export revenue, efforts to deal with IUU warnings and regain a green card will be crucial.
To control origin of seafood materials for export, the MARD has launched a national plan to prevent and minimise IUU fishing. Along with proposing to the Government an offshore fishing project, the ministry has set up a system to control domestic and imported seafood materials and monitor fishing activities.
A fisheries database has also been formed to strengthen capacity in verifying seafood origin, thus stopping illegally exploited seafood from being imported to Vietnam.
