Can Tho to host fourth VietShrimp fair
VOV.VN - The fourth VietShrimp Aquaculture International Fair is scheduled to get underway in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho from April 12 to 14.
The three-day fair will feature close to 200 pavilions from some 150 domestic and foreign firms involved in aquaculture.
A number of symposiums will also be held to introduce effective production models, orientations, and solutions aimed at achieving sustainable shrimp farming.
VietShrimp was first organised in 2016 and has been held biennially since. The event is jointly organised by the Vietnam Fisheries Society (VINAFIS) and the Directorate of Fisheries, providing opportunities for businesses to exchange, boost exports, and affirm the country’s shrimp position as part of the global market.
Themed “Innovative value chain upgrading”, VietShrimp 2023 helps to introduce new technologies, advanced models, and connect production and consumption, in order to increase product quality and promote Vietnamese shrimp in the world market.
Shrimp is one of Vietnam’s key export items playing a very important role in the development of the seafood industry and the Vietnamese economy, helping to create million jobs.
Last year local businesses earned US$4.3 billion from shrimp export, up 11.2% compared to 2021.
Vietnam aims to have 750,000 hectares of shrimp farms and generate more than US$4.3 billion worth of shrimp export this year.
